Business case for Femtocell

Femtocell can be seen as a tool, offered to mobile operators, to improve the business case in selected areas such as: Network savings Indoor coverage reduce cell site deployment Macro offload of large data on femto reduce CAPEX and OPEX Phased deployment bring capacity quickly where required Customer retention Improve customer satisfaction reduce churn Bring innovative value proposition for households

Business case is strongly improved with: Current deployments show that even offering Business case is strongly improved with: Current deployments show that even offering free femto gives a valid business case! -- Higher femto valid business free femto gives a penetration ratio case! Higher femto penetration ratio

Femto heritage to the LTE world

SON: Self Organised Network Ability to autonomously configure the RF parameters to mitigate the interference and offer best services Based on environment sniffing and advanced algorithm Standard Femto uses recognised standards (3GPP, BB forum, IEEE) which can be easily re-used for traditionnal macro systems Flat IP Ability to use standard internet grade backhaull Simplify network architecture to only basic elements Femto itself! Supported by a large ecosystem of vendors Strong experience gained on designing to cost and field deployment
