Back in August, Lime provided 16x base stations for use in creating a GSM network at the bi-annual festival for those with an inquisitive mind or an interest in making things, EMF Camp. The low cost and eminently compact solution that was put together for the event was based around the combination of Raspberry Pi 3 and LimeSDR Mini — hence a close relation to the LimeNET Micro, albeit not as highly integrated and without the benefit of OCXO, GPS, and PoE etc.

In this video, EMF Camp’s Sam Machin gives a quick demo of a LimeNET Micro connected to the same GSM network core that was used for the event, showing a call set up between two handsets.
