摘要:Femtocells — typically designed for use in residential or small business environments — are generating great interest among telecommunications service providers and consumers alike.
We can think of a femtocell as a cellular base station, shrunk down to the size of a WiFi router and connected to the broadband Internet connection (such as DSL or cable), which can handle several mobile handsets. Within the femtocell coverage area, voice and data calls approved to use the femtocell will be carried not through the macrocellular network, but through the femtocell itself.
