Huawei deploys commercial 3G femtocell network

Huawei Technologies has announced that it has helped Starhub deploy a commercial 3G femtocell network.

A 3G femtocell is a portable wireless access device that connects 3G mobile handsets directly to a standard broadband DSL or cable service to provide mobile voice and date coverage in the home and office environment.

They are particularly useful for areas where broadband access would otherwise be limited or unavailable.

Huawei's femtocell solution enables end-users to enjoy high-speed wireless data services indoors such as streaming video, IPTV, video conferencing and mobile broadband.

Femtocells are also important for operators to implement a full-service operation strategy in this new era of network convergence.
