Base Stations

Integration Overview

In order to integrate your Base Station with Netmoregroup's Network, it must be on-boarded. This process involves:

• Registration.

• Installation & configuration of a supported packet forwarder.

Once registration is complete your Base Station's packet forwarder will communicate with Netmoregroup's network.

Netmoregroup Packet Forwarder for RAN providers

This integration option is applicable to Radio Access Network (RAN) Providers deploying Base Stations at scale. This option increases security over the standard Netmoregroup Packet Forwarder, which includes restricting local user accounts and preventing remote access.

Supported Base Stations

For a list of supported Base Stations please see the Base Stations Software documentation.
