Indeed very interesting.  According to a press release from Nortel, this is a
"zero-footprint microBTS", so something similar like the BS-11 that we've been
using for quite some time.

However, I could not find any more details such as frequency bands, the UMTS
capabilities, etc.

Also, without getting a-bis protocol traces, it will be very hard to use.
