Cheaper femtocells coming

You've been hearing about femtocells for a while and you should have paid attention: They're getting closer to technology that will work in your enterprise with the introduction of new chips that allow for cheaper 3G base stations. The idea of femtocells is that the repeaters will allow 3G coverage everywhere a wireless application is needed--even in buildings that might have poor reception. Cambridge Consultants, the firm designing the new femtocell base station, says that the new technology should bring the cost down to the point where carriers might include them with the purchase of handsets.
