Bringing the femtocell outdoors

By tinkering with the device’s range, Ubiquisys has a made a femto that acts much like macro while still preserving its cost and operational benefits. To date, the discussion on femtocells has always centered on indoor coverage—providing a better signal and more capacity for a handful of people at home or at work. But this week ,Ubiquisys introduced an outdoor femtocell that would serve the same small number of subscribers but over sizable distances.

The difference between indoor [and] outdoor femtocells isn’t power or processing capability; it’s merely range, said Keith Day, vice president of marketing for Ubiquisys. It doesn’t matter if the subscribers are in the same room or mile and a half away, the same architecture that provides a private home connection could be used to support a public wide-area network. To that end, Ubiquisys had revamped its standard indoor femtocell with a software upgrade to turn it into what is essentially a miniature outdoor base station.
