What is Femtocell
A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network.
A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.
According to Wikipedia
In 2002, a group of engineers at Motorola in Swindon, England, started a skunkworks team, called the "AFG", to develop new technologies. Some of their major achievements included the world's smallest full-power UMTS base station, one of the first demonstrations of television to mobile, and the invention and development of the access point base station (ie. Femtocell). The original design was intended to provide a direct equivalent to a WiFi access point, but for mobile cellular (UMTS, CDMA-2000 or WiMAX). The unit contained all the core network elements and did not require a cellular core network, requiring only a data connection to the Internet or WiFi core network.
Operators’ benefits.
Improves coverage.
Reduces backhaul traffic.
Provides capacity enhancements.
Reduces churn.
Easy Radio Coverage for rural areas.
Where there is ADSL you can have mobility.
Stimulates 3G usage.
Addresses the fixed mobile convergence market with a highly attractive and efficient solution.
What Femto World is trying to address.
What are the pricing and marketing challenges?
What are the different deployment and what collaborations and partnerships are required to deliver?
Will Femtocell became multi-operator devices or an independent indoor network that users on different network could room to?
Can we achieve the capacity and QoS by using current subscribers’ IP backhaul.
The security architecture for UMA and Femtocells.
Analysis of different forms of attack: SIM cloning, access to UMA without SIM.
Analysis of different fraud scenarios (national usage, international usage).
