What are femtocells

 

Femtocells deliver significantly improved coverage inside homes, small and large offices, and outdoor public spaces (metro hotspots and rural). This means a stronger signal and better voice quality, plus improved data download and upload speeds.

Femtocells also facilitate a new breed of mobile service that exploits the technology’s ability to detect presence, and connect and interact with existing networks.
