Femtocell Network Management and Integration

A Key Differentiation Point for Vendors

Traditional views of the femtocell market hold that the key differentiators between solution providers are focused on box-centric notions such as price, channel support, and integrated features, among others. However, the market is evolving significantly, and the ability to provide a complete end-to-end solution is now becoming the most important differentiator between solution vendors. Network management and integration are key aspects of a full turnkey approach and make up some of the most significant areas where solution vendors can also distinguish themselves. This Research Brief outlines the critical considerations for a network management solution and provides a forecast for network management and control revenues.
