Perspectives
The femtocell market is now entering its most crucial and exciting phase. With equipment and component vendors having worked hard at convincing carriers that the technology works, carriers need to convince the end-users about the femtocell value proposition. With carriers across North America, Asia, and now Europe having launched commercial femtocell services, the market now seems to have the momentum that it was looking for. However, the most difficult phase for femtocells begins as customers across the world start to explore the benefits of femtocells - from improving voice coverage to enhancing the mobile broadband experience, as well as the possibility of adding innovative location and presence based services.
