I am a GSM/2G enthusiast, and I am looking for a piece of equipment that implements the "Transcoder" function described in this Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_station_subsystem#Transcoder
In GSM standard specs this component is called TRAU (Transcoder and Rate Adapter Unit), but I don't know if major equipment vendors (E*******, Nokia, Siemens) called it by some other name in their designs. I want one of these for my lab - just for lab use only, to experiment with exactly how it implements TFO. I don't care if it is Nokia or Siemens or E******* or any other brand, as long as it is a transcoder unit which I can operate by itself (ideally the kind that goes from A to Ater interface), and as long as it supports TFO. Any suggestions as to which specific equipment I should look for on the surplus market?
