Re: Femtocells - Page 4

Hi guys,

I live in a fairly rural part of the UK and although the area is supposed to have O2 coverage, it is in fact pretty dire here. I am tied onto o2 for another 13 months with my iPhone and unless something is done by o2 to sort the signal out I will be voting with my feet next June.
Last year o2 & vodafone trialled 'Femtocell' technology. This is an internet based plug in tx/rx device which is stand alone and provides internet based mobile phone coverage inside buildings where there is insufficient signal from normal sources. Vodafone have embraced it and people are now getting the full benefit of full 3G phone signal in their homes/offices.
Where is the o2 version?
I know I'm a little bitter having been a Vodafone customer for many years, leaving just before they announced that they were getting iPhone, but surely o2 are embracing this technology as the o2 signal outside major towns everywhere appears to be generally poorer than my previous provider.
Does anyone have any thought on this and does anyone know if there are any plans for Femtocell technology to appear on the o2 books in the near future?

It isn't anything to do with the haysystems email, I had that yesterday as well. The o2 unit is the same as the Vodaphone Sure Surf and is made by Sagem.

I take it back, I have actually found someone at work with one! 😮
They have not broadcasted it out over the usual channels, it was more by "word of mouth".

Well, I'm relieved that the guy I spoke to was telling the truth. And to think I doubted the word of an o2 representative 😮

The trial is coming to an end soon. I know little more than that at the moment but if the results here are anything to go by its been a success.

Its Alcatel-Lucent and Sagem. They have joined forces for many products and this is one of them.
