  4. What is FemtoCell FemtoCell Technology

  5. What is FemtoCell Ratio of the earth’s crust and the cooking pan Radius of the gold atom : 0.13 nm radius of earth crust : 6376 km Cooking pan : 35.7 cm FemtoCell Technology

  6. What is Femtocell A femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) and typically supports 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage inside of your home - especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable - without the need for expensive cellular towers. It also decreases backhaul costs since it routes your mobile phone traffic through the IP network.      A femtocell is sometimes referred to as a “home base station”, “access point base station”, “3G access point”, “small cellular base station” and “personal 2G-3G base station”.

  7. What is THE FMC Concept? FMC: Fixed Mobile Convergence converge    verb [I] 1. If lines, roads or paths converge, they move towards the same point where they join or meet:2 If ideas and opinions converge, they gradually become similar.3 to come from other places to meet in a particular place:convergence   noun [C or U] FemtoCell Technology

  8. How could it be implemented? Cellular Base Station (Picocell) Approach FemtoCell Technology

  9. How might it be implemented? Collapsed Stack Approach FemtoCell Technology

  10. How could it be implemented? All IP SIP/IMS Approach IMS : IP Multimedia Subsystem. SIP: Session Initiation Protocol. FemtoCell Technology

  11. How could it be implemented? Collapsed Stack with UMA Backhaul Approach FemtoCell Technology

  12. How could it be implemented? Collapsed Stack with UMA Backhaul Approach FemtoCell Technology

  13. How could it be implemented? FemtoCell Technology

  14. History of FemtoCell According to Wikipedia In 2002, a group of engineers at Motorola in Swindon, England, started a skunkworks team, called the "AFG", to develop new technologies. Some of their major achievements included the world's smallest full-power UMTS base station, one of the first demonstrations of television to mobile, and the invention and development of the access point base station (ie. Femtocell). The original design was intended to provide a direct equivalent to a WiFi access point, but for mobile cellular (UMTS, CDMA-2000 or WiMAX). The unit contained all the core network elements and did not require a cellular core network, requiring only a data connection to the Internet or WiFi core network. FemtoCell Technology

  15. Which is the coolest FemtoCell. FemtoCell Technology

  16. How does it look form behind? FemtoCell Technology

  17. How fast can it go? • 2.5 G • The femtocell will be 2G GSM technology, supporting data services through GPRS and EDGE which typically offer up to 384kbit/s. • 3G UMTS HSPA • Femtocells add network capacity and make it possible to deliver 7.2 Mbps and 14.4 Mbps HSDPA data rates to consumers in indoor environments. • Evolved HSPA provides HSPA data rates up to 42 Mbit/s on the downlink and 22 Mbit/s on the uplink with MIMO technologies and higher order modulation. FemtoCell Technology

  18. How fast can it go? WiMAX 802.16e 3.5GHz 70Mbit/s WiMAX Quoted speeds only achievable at very short ranges, more practically 10 Mbit/s at 10 km. LTE Downlink 326.4 Mbit/s Uplink 86.4 Mbit/s LTE-Advanced update to offer over 1 Gbit/s speeds. FemtoCell Technology

  19. Users benefits. • Reduced “in home” call charges. • Improved indoor coverage (Base station in your bedroom). • Continued use of current handset. • Reduced battery drain. • Fast/Higher performance 3G services. FemtoCell Technology

  20. Operators’ benefits. • Improves coverage. • Reduces backhaul traffic. • Provides capacity enhancements. • Reduces churn. • Easy Radio Coverage for rural areas. • Where there is ADSL you can have mobility. • Stimulates 3G usage. • Addresses the fixed mobile convergence market with a highly attractive and efficient solution. FemtoCell Technology

  21. Things to be addressed. • Interference. • Spectrum. • Access control. • Lawful interception. • Equipment location. • Network integration. • Emergency calls. • Quality of service. • Spectrum accuracy. • Handover. • Air Interface. FemtoCell Technology

  22. What Femto World is trying to address. • ABI Research predicts 102 million users worldwide by 2011. • What is the Femtocell Business Model and Deployment Options? • Femtocell Evolotion – How will femtocells evolve alongside 4G technologies such as WiMAX and LTE? • Network Integrations and Scalability Issues – What is the best way to integrate femtocells into the operators network. • Femtocell Provisioning – How is zero touch installation and deployment going to be obtained? • Standards and Regulatory Dimension • Femtocell Security – How will security issues and QoS over backhaul will be solved? • Managing millions of femtocell devices. • Integrated gateways/devices with Wi-Fi FemtoCell Technology

  23. What Femto World is trying to address. • What are the pricing and marketing challenges? • What are the different deployment and what collaborations and partnerships are required to deliver? • Will Femtocell became multi-operator devices or an independent indoor network that users on different network could room to? • Can we achieve the capacity and QoS by using current subscribers’ IP backhaul. • The security architecture for UMA and Femtocells. • Analysis of different forms of attack: SIM cloning, access to UMA without SIM. • Analysis of different fraud scenarios (national usage, international usage).

  24. Which mouse gets the cheese? The first movers advantage. vs The second mouse gets the cheese. FemtoCell Technology

  25. The sand rule FemtoCell Technology

  26. Final Thoughts These technologies are brothers and sisters. The Question is How FemtoCells will evolve along side 4G technologies such as WiMAX LTE. They will definitely be in our lives. FemtoCell Technology
