UK-based ip.access recently developed technology to connect 3G cell phones into a home network, using its Oyster 3G femtocell product as a “bridge.” The 3G Home Routing technology allows users to wirelessly access files and information stored on a computer or media centre, via a Local Area Network. “Femtocells can open up these applications to any 3G handset quickly and easily, putting your mobile phone at the heart of your connected home,” said Dr. Andy Tiller, vice president of marketing at ip.access. “Our femtocell-powered 3G Routing technology means there’s no need to have a special Wi-Fi-enabled phone, and you don’t have to spend time configuring any settings either.” 3G Home Routing routes data traffic directly over the femtocell, using HSDPA technology, and removes the delay associated with connecting to a mobile operator’s core network. “Femtocells can offer consumers more than just better 3G coverage at home,” said Tiller. “We believe that connected home applications and other ‘femtozone’ services will become compelling reasons for consumers to adopt femtocells.” ip.access demonstrated its 3G Home Routing technology at the recent Femtocells Europe 2008 conference in London. ...
