Thanks on behalf of the development team.

sysmoBTS is a single-TRX device. We have a hardware option of stacking
multiple sysmoBTS boards to achieve a single BTS with multiple TRX.
By default, each TRX has separate TX output / RX input.

"multiarfcn" is not an standard language, I believe only OpenBTS uses
it. As Peter has pointed out, any BTS with multiple TRX has multiple
arfcn. So even the first BTS supported by OpenBSC (BS-11) has two
ARFCN.
There are a variety of example configuration files in the openbsc source
tree, feel free to review them.

CSD is not yet implemented, but I hope with Tobias' help we will soon
have it working, at least for some BTS models.
PoC as present in some phones so far is not a feature of GSM/3GPP
specifciations, and it is very hard to get those specifcations. The
newer IMS-based method is specified in 3GPP, but I'm not sure which
operators have already deployed it. As it is a TCP/IP based service, I
think it is fully independent from OpenBSC and just like any other
user application out of scope for what we are trying to achieve. But
we're of course happy if you want to contribute a PoC server and host it
on git.osmocom.org :)
Regards,
Harald
