Qualcomm Modems – the “behind-the-screens” magic

Femtocells
Small solution. Big advantages.
Bringing the network closer to the user by adding small cells will provide the next leap in performance. Studies show that the majority of mobile voice and data usage is indoors. Small cells are a cost-effective way to increase indoor coverage and capacity with existing devices for a range of deployment scenarios, from residential and small business to large enterprise settings. Check out the video and learn why femtocells are "in."
Small cells will provide the next leap In performance
Small cells will provide the next leap In performance
We believe the next significant performance leap will come from small cells such as femtocells and picocells, which bring the network closer to users. Femtos cost-effectively improve coverage and capacity and significantly enhance data rates for users within the femto coverage area. As femtos offload traffic from the macro network, users outside femto coverage also benefit.
Femtocells evolve to femto networks
Femtocells evolve to femto networks
As femtocells increase in popularity, we believe they will evolve into femto networks. These are typically large-scale, dense deployments of high-capacity, open access, enterprise femtocells, sometimes referred to as metrocells.

For large scale and dense deployment of femtocells, the femto-to-macro, macro-to-femto, and femto-to-femto interference, as well as the handoffs between them, has to be managed. Qualcomm’s UltraSON suite of tools effectively manages both of these aspects and enables easy plug-and-play deployment of femtos.
