I've seen nanoBTS behaving very inconsistently so I'm not excluding
that there are some circumstances in which they actually do work
reliably, since I have no reason to doubt what I heard about them
working fine together with the ipaccess software.

But in any case, a detailed analysis of what is really going would be
neccessary in order to potentially make them equally reliable with
OpenBSC and I would personally much rather use a sysmoBTS and spend
that time on other things. :)
