DoCoMo Develops First Small-cell Base Station for 3G and LTE
Published on:
Japan's NTT DoCoMo says that it has developed the world's first dual-mode small-cell base station, or femtocell, supporting 3G (WCDMA) and LTE simultaneously for improved service coverage in indoor locations.
The dual-mode femtocell will be commercially launched from December.
DoCoMo's new femtocell, which weighs 0.7 kg and measures 18.5cm by 17.5 cm by 4.5 cm (H x W x T), provides 3G/LTE service coverage in a range of up to several tens of meters, depending on actual conditions. Its plug-and-play function automatically configures itself to the surrounding radio environment simply by connecting the femtocell to a broadband fixed line.
DoCoMo has been marketing 3G femtocells for improved indoor coverage since 2007.
