Femtocells are very attractive to mobile network operators as they provide a high-quality signal in the home and facilitate significant cost savings which can be used to support aggressive tariffs and the provision of new bundled service offerings. Femtocells also clearly represent a cost-effective means of improving and expanding (primarily 3G) network coverage and capacity, with RAN and backhaul costs effectively paid for by the consumer as mobile traffic is backhauled over the user' s DSL or cable. At the same time, femtocells are expected to reduce churn due to the improved coverage and performance enabled by the technology, locking in users and entire families. From the consumer perspective, femtocells will result principally in improved residential cellular coverage, lower in-home call and mobile data charges and the ability to use one phone both in and out of the home.

The report provides an overview of the latest trends in the emerging femtocell market and examines how mass market deployment levels will be reached and what hurdles must first be overcome. Leading industry experts provide their opinions on areas such as roll out strategies, femtocell standards and network connection methods, unit and tariff costs and the scope for reduced operator costs and increased revenues.
