This is the Layer 1 API between the PHY and the MAC/RLC layer. This is
_very_ far from the Iuh interface. Compare it with the L1SAP interface
of OsmoBTS. And Iuh is on th level of the A interface, not even Abis.
Also, this API is for LTE, not for UMTS.

You can find transceiver hardware + PHY implementations that offer this
L1 API. However, that is not a complete (femto/small) cell, but the
hardware plus the PHY.
I don't think anyone will quickly come about and implement all the
missing layers, so in the context of developing a NITB with Iuh
interface, it doesn't really help.

I haven't really looked at any femtocells for a very long time.
