A femtocell is a miniature cellular base station specifically designed for use in the home, vastly improving cellular voice and data coverage and quality throughout the home. 2Wire said its HomePortal BaseStation will provide whole-home coverage for both UMTS 3G voice and data (HSPA) services and CDMA-2000 EVDO 3G services. Backwards compatibility with GSM/GPRS/EDGE and IS-95/1xRTT will also be provided. The HomePortal BaseStation will add to 2Wire's existing portfolio of broadband voice products and services, which includes the HomePortal 2700HGV, with built-in VoIP capability and differentiated QoS functionality. Sold in conjunction with the BT Fusion service, the HomePortal 2700HGV delivers dual-mode phone service with mobile and Wi-Fi calling capabilities from the same cellular device. 2Wire will be launching two new families of femtocell products in early 2008, including femtocells that connect with residential gateways via Ethernet, and the HomePortal BaseStation, which fully integrates the femtocell into the residential gateway itself. The HomePortal BaseStation will provide complete femtocell functionality while retaining the form and functionality of traditional HomePortal residential gateways, including full TR-069 standards compliance, a high performance ADSL or VDSL modem, a high-speed router, professional-grade firewall, integrated voice over IP, remote access capabilities, and flexible home networking options. http://www.2Wire.com 21-Mar-07     Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Service Provider News Verizon Business Extends Cloud Services with VMware 8/31/2010 SingTel Launches Services over NGNBN Fibre 8/31/2010 Singapore's Next Gen Nationwide Broadband Network Launches 8/31/2010 Clearwire Offers Pay-As-You-Go Mobile Broadband, $5/Day 8/30/2010 SK Telecom Selects ALU's MPLS-TP Packet Optical Backhaul 8/27/2010 Taiwan's Chunghwa Sees Further FTTx Substitution for ADSL 8/26/2010 Qwest Introduces Cloud-based Recovery Service 8/26/2010 FiberTech Networks Sold to Investor Group for $500 Million 8/26/2010 eircom Wholesale Launches Carrier Ethernet Across Ireland 8/26/2010 Kenya's Safaricom Deploys NSN's Subscriber Data Platform 8/25/2010 IBM Warns that Security Vulnerabilities Reach Record Levels 8/25/2010 Google Enables Phone Calling from Gmail 8/25/2010 China Telecom to Accelerate FTTH and Mobile Rollouts 8/25/2010 AT&T Adds VoIP Service to Enterprise VPN Service 8/24/2010 China Mobile Tops 554 Million Customers 8/19/2010 > More news...     Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published Emergency Response and Wireless Location Systems by Manlio Allegra Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm by Sue Spradley Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing by Joe Zeto Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition by Greg Oslan A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture by Jim Theodoras Delivering Scalable Video Solutions <br><i> Advantages of SVC-Optimized QoS</i> by Andy Singleton
