A femtocell is a compact, low-power 3G wireless device that enables mobile users to connect their phones to the 3G core network through a standard interface. It acts as a small cellular base station, typically installed in homes or small businesses, providing localized coverage for high-density traffic areas. Unlike traditional macrocells, femtocells are designed to address signal blind spots and weak coverage zones such as underground parking garages, tunnels, shopping malls, and even the top floors of high-rise buildings.
The primary purpose of a femtocell system is to improve indoor signal quality by extending coverage where it's most needed. This helps reduce dropped calls and improves call clarity, especially in areas with heavy traffic like commercial centers or entertainment hubs. Additionally, femtocells can be strategically placed in mid-level floors of high-rise buildings to minimize frequent handovers and ensure more stable connections.
Femtocells operate by connecting to an existing IP-based network, allowing them to provide seamless mobile communication services within a home or office environment. They are often plug-and-play devices, making installation easy for end-users. The internal structure of a femtocell typically integrates multiple network elements, such as NodeB, RNC, SGSN, and GGSN, into a single unit, resulting in a flatter network architecture.
There are different ways femtocells can access the core network. One common method is the Iu-Over-IP mode, where the femtocell only has some NodeB functions and relies on shared RNC resources. Another approach is the RAN Gateway (RGW) mode, which introduces a new network element between the core network and the IP access network. This allows for better management, security, and protocol conversion. The third option is the SIP/IMS mode, which uses session initiation protocol (SIP) for communication, offering a more advanced and future-proof solution but requiring significant infrastructure changes.
In China, the deployment of femtocells faces several technical challenges, including avoiding interference with macrocell networks, ensuring smooth handover between cells, and developing effective user access policies. From a business perspective, femtocells need to be economically viable, especially when data usage and 3G adoption are high. Operators must also find a compelling business model that encourages user adoption, particularly in the face of growing WiFi competition.
Ultimately, the success of femtocells depends on a combination of technological readiness, operator support, and consumer demand. As the mobile market becomes more competitive, femtocells offer a promising solution for improving coverage and enhancing user experience.
Traffic Signal Lighting
We started to manufacture traffic signal pole from 2001 and exported from 2002.
Our firm introduced whole set of good-sized numerical control hydraulic
folding equipment(1280/16000) as well as equipped with a series of
good-sized professional equipments of armor plate-flatted machine,
lengthways cut machine, numerical control cut machine, auto-closed up
machine, auto-arc-weld machine, hydraulic redressing straight machine,
etc. The firm produces all sorts of conical, pyramidal, cylindrical
steel poles with production range of dia 50mm-2250mm, thickness
1mm-25mm, once taking shape 16000mm long, and large-scale steel
components. The firm also is equipped with a multicolor-spayed
pipelining. At the meantime, for better service to the clients, our firm
founded a branch com. The Yixing Jinlei Lighting Installation Com,
which offers clients a succession of service from design to manufacture
and fixing.
