CDMA Femtocells are commercially available in the US today!


A femtocell is an indoor base station for residential and SoHo markets

6. Femtocells are integrated into a mobile core network by a concentrator 5. Femtocells are

manageable remotely

2. Femtocells support standard 3G handsets

3. Femtocells use consumer’s broadband connection for backhaul

1. Femtocells provide excellent 3G coverage and capacity in the home

4. Femtocells are low power and self-configuring to minimize interference

Femtocell Commercialization Challenges

FNG

Consumer-Targeted PlatformNeed: Residential price points

Need: Identify Valuable Data Services as a substitute for declining voice revenues

Requirement: Highly cost-optimized design, WiFi, DSL, open interfaces, plug and play approach- integrated CPE flexible services platform

Interference ManagementNeed: Minimal Femtocell/Macrocell interferenceRequirement: Intelligent, automated RF planning

Core Network IntegrationNeed: Cost-effective aggregation of millions of femtocells

providing relative service parity between macro and femto environments

Requirement: Secure, standard, operationally manageable

Management and ControlNeed: For the operator to manage millions of femtocells and

for the consumer to easily manage one femtocell

Requirement: remote access, scalable management system for the operator. Plug and play for the consumer.
