2008-10-03 17:12:19 - Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report analysing the femtocell market.

'Femtocell Market Shares: Strategies, and Forecasts, 2008 to 2014', which is available at www.reportbuyer.com/go/WIN00042 reports that femtocells are emerging as a technology that lets wireless phone use in homes and offices become a viable alternative to landline telephones.

The report shows that the ability to leverage the Internet makes femtocells an economic force in the marketplace; it

brings the industry changes in the way voice is delivered.

Furthermore, femtocells will most likely work in a telecommunications environment that has multiple co-existing technologies that are deployed by different carriers to address their specific customer bases, business models, and eco-systems.

Authors of the report note that Cisco has interest in the emerging technology with an investment in ip.access, a Cambridge-based femtocell manufacturer. This is opening up the possibility of femtocells being integrated into other consumer entertainment hardware, such as set-top boxes, which Cisco already sells.

Currently, Ubiquisys, the Google-backed company is providing the femtocells for O2, along with 12 other trials around the world. It provides a technology that listens in to the existing GSM and 3G network signals to establish if the licensee is allowed to transmit here.
