It can't be a tower, at most a sort of bridge and barely at that. Harald Welte's OpenBSC is more advanced http://bs11-abis.gnumonks.org/trac/. It is built on Siemends industrial design and not USRP as the BTS.

It doesn't surprise me that OpenBSC is more advanced given that my understanding is that the Siemens hardware does a lot of the hard work. OpenBTS is more impressive (and more customizable for evil) since it has to do everything in software.
