Hello would you like to have a base station?
Well, not really base station doesn’t fit my house. So how about a tiny base station that sits somewhere in the corner of house. Sounds interesting?
Basically, a mobile is connected to a base station all the time to make or receive calls the stations are huge antennas and serve hundreds of people.
These bases stations are connected to the operators core network. Since the spectrum is limited, the base station can serve only limited number of people at a time if the network is congested then the calls start dropping that’s the case with voice network.
No congestions, no more low speeds. Yes, the technology is here. Well, its not exactly in India yet, but hope it will be soon. The base stations are reduced to size of your palm and are called as “Femto Cells”.These femto cells are small access points that can be bought once installed at your home, it will have a secure connection to the service providers network.
Once you switch on your mobile, instead of camping on to the base station, will camp on to the femto cell since the power from it is much higher than the base station.
The spectrum will be same as the base stations so no more congestions but fetmos cover a limited area, say 25 meters in radius. Femtos can be configured for various services like a welcome message once you connect to them. 🙂
