The 3G Access Module operates as a Home Node B (HNB) in the standard 3GPP Architecture for small cells, and is connected to the network with the specified Iuh interface. This architecture provides for rapid deployment and multivendor interoperability." Does that mean this system works similarly to a "homeowner-style" microcell, in which the device is tied to the owner's cell plan, and only specified phones can connect? Or, can it work like an actual cell tower, and let any phone connect using that phone's own plan. I'm not sure the first case would be useful in a dorm, though it would possibly be useful for staff who had college-owned phones.
