![]() While femtocells are not technically VoIP devices, they are similar. ![]() Give the femtocell power and ethernet, and you receive 5 bars in return or at least that's the idea. A femtocell extends indoor cellular network coverage by connecting to a broadband Internet connection and sending voice/data information through that connection. In layman's terms, a femtocell is a small cellular base station designed for home use. Let me backtrack a bit and describe what a femtocell is and why it makes me happy. ![]() At the time of this writing, the AT&T 3G MicroCell is only offered in limited test markets and is only available in North Carolina and parts of Georgia. AT&T's femtocell offering, marketed as the 3G MicroCell, was at an AT&T store near me. A few weeks ago I received a flyer in the mail. That didn't get me anywhere, so I waited my turn. I called several high-level people at AT&T to find more about the femtocell and see if I could get in on the beta testing. Needless to say, when I first heard reports that AT&T was tinkering with femtocells back in January I was ecstatic.
