Airvana Femto Family Tablet hands-on

Chris Davies, Jun 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

Femtocells: simple home cellular base stations that let you make a call when you’re indoors and you can’t persuade Verizon, AT&T or any of the other carriers to boost their coverage, right? Not if Airvana have their way; the company – who already supply carriers like Sprint with their Airave femto, and who are tipped to be readying a VoIP-capable model for the network – are hoping to turn personal base stations into connected home multimedia hubs, intelligently managing a family’s communications and potentially shepherding in more touchscreen tablets. We caught up with the company to find out why smart femtos are the way forward.

Verizon kills off Hub after only 8 months

Shane McGlaun, Oct 1st 2009 Discuss [0]

You may recall us talking a bit about the Verizon Hub early this year. The Hub was Verizon's plan to woo customers back to home phones with a home phone that offered Internet connectivity. What they failed to consider was how dumb an idea the Hub was. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Sep 22nd 2009 Discuss [0]

Confirmed as trialling in Charlotte, North Carolina (and nowhere else yet, unfortunately), one lucky owner has documented his new-toy experience on Flickr. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Sep 21st 2009 Discuss [0]

This smug woman would love to tell you all the reasons why AT&T's Y-shaped 3G MicroCell is going to change the way you use your cellphone at home, just don't ask her when you can buy it or for how much. Ma Bell's new femtocell promises - just like the Sprint AIRAVE and Verizon Network Extender - to set up your own mini access point at your home or office, in this case capable of carrying both voice calls, messages and data over your broadband connection.

Vodafone UK have become the latest carrier to offer a femtocell, and the first in Europe to do so.

Chris Davies, Jan 26th 2009 Discuss [1]

There's an unusually high quantity of femtocell news this morning, as hot on the heels of the Verizon Wireless Network Extender comes word of the AT&T 3G MicroCell. Yet to be officially announced by the carrier, but revealed in their online setup page, the 3G MicroCell will work with up to four AT&T cellphones simultaneously - though they must all be 3G devices - using your broadband connection to carry voice and data traffic in areas of poor cellular network coverage.

Verizon Wireless Network Extender launches: $250 upfront, no service fees

Chris Davies, Jan 26th 2009 Discuss [0]

Verizon's femtocell, the Network Extender, has been officially launched, and at first glance it's a far better deal than Sprint's rival AIRAVE. Although the two units themselves are basically identical - promising to create your own CDMA mini-network, by routing cellphone calls and data over your broadband connection when Verizon's own network is insufficient - the difference comes in the pricing. The Verizon Wireless Network Extender is priced at $249.99, but after that there are no monthly fees. Read The Full Story
