Ericsson are building 3G base stations in a shipping container that will be
put on the back of a truck and driven around Europe. Howver the big E not
famous for speed so may be some time before this exists. If you want details
please let me know.
Of course despite the fact that UMTS is a global standard no gaurantee that
any Node B will allow access by any handset. For example I have heard
reliably that test DoCoMo base stations in Europe actively reject non DoCoMo
3G handsets prototypes.

Subject: (keitai-l) Wiring two Foma phones together?
I've been handed two Foma phones and been told to take them to Europe
and show them working. Hmmm...
I've no idea how to do this, but at the end of 2001 I was wandering
around Odaiba and saw two girls with Foma phones talking to each other.
Each phone was linked by quite a hefty cable to something out of sight.
I assumed this was simply a power supply if they'd been hired to talk on
the things all day. But, is there some kind of wired base station
emulator out there?
Otherwise, is there some kind of basestation-in-a-box which would give
me a portable cell I could take with me?
As you can see, I'm totally stumped by this. It doesn't have to be a
cheap solution, but it has to be available right now. As Blackadder
said, "I'm happy to wear cotton but I've no idea how it works."
