World's First Femtocell Standard Published by 3GPP

Three trade bodies, The Femto Forum, 3GPP and the Broadband Forum have jointly announced that the world's first femtocell standard has been officially published by 3GPP, paving the way for interoperability between different vendors' access points and femto gateways. The new standard, which forms part of 3GPP's Release 8, and interdependent with Broadband Forum extensions to its Technical Report-069 (TR-069), has been completed in just 12 months following cooperation between the three groups.  more

Study Finds Interference Between Femtocells and Maco Network Not a Problem

Femtocell trade group, The Femto Forum has published the results of a study which studied problems with network interference caused by the close proximity of femtocells and macrocells. The study found that femtocells have the potential to deliver an order of magnitude more capacity than the macro network alone when used in dense deployments, even when occupying the same radio channel as the macrocells. It also identified numerous technological solutions that mitigate potential interference with the macro network to remove barriers to wide-scale deployment and maximize the capacity benefits.  more

Ubiquisys First to Support Impending 3G Femtocell Standard

Ubiquisys says that it became the first femtocell vendor to announce its commitment to the 3GPP's emerging Iuh interface, providing standardised communications between femtocells and the gateways in mobile operators' networks. Ubiquisys will support this interface in its products ready for the planned approval of Iuh in December 2008.  more
