Has any one looked at airspan radios ?
Specifically this one:

Yes, it is simply a nanoBTS + LTE transceiver

I am not aware of anyone in our community having had access to those devices.
it's hard to judge how easily they would integrate with OpenBSC based on the marketing speech says ;)
I would guess that it should be fairly simple to integrate the GSM part, if it reuses the Abis related components from ip.access.
However, they could just use some completely different parts of the ip.access software stack, and have something custom over the back-haul link.
If you have an interest in OpenBSC interoperability with those units, I'm sure we could find a way to make it happen. My guess is that they would be pretty expensive, as the nanoBTS alone (without any LTE) is already horribly expensive.

I suppose it is just a nanoBTS + LTE transceiver station contained in one cabinet. Probably the nanoBTS is equipped with an external amplifier, from the brochure, they have greater max/min output power, but other specifications are the same.
