Hi Ravi and Peter,

Regarding Ravi's question:

> > get the firmware.

I have never seen a nanoBTS that ships without firmware.  How would you
be able to set the Unit ID, etc. if there was no firmware on the nanoBTS?

If you need specific firmware versions for your nanoBTS, please contact
your supplier/distributor or ip.access directly.

> > How to get it and configure for NanoBTS??

> nanoBTS is a different project and based on the USRP. checkout
> openbts.org to get further informations.

Hrm? Just to clarify:

 * OpenBSC is our software.

 * nanoBTS is a product manufactured by ip.access. Can be used with OpenBSC

 * OpenBTS is a SDR GSM Um-SIP gateway by Kestrel Signal Processing;
   does not need OpenBSC as it bypasses the clasic BSC/MSC components.

Ravi: OpenBSC is Free Software provied 'as is'.  You are free to download it
from our site, study the source code, compile it and use it like you seem fit.
But there is no documentation apart from what is on the website (wiki) and in
the source code itself.  There is no "end user support".  You get the software
for free, but you're on your own from that point on.  It is not our task to
provide you detailed guidance on how to install and use the software.

Regards,
	Harald
