Reminder
What is a Femtocell?
• Small Cells based on the Femto-cell technology are:
• Scaled down, low power, lightweight wireless access base stations
• located typically within homes, offices, buildings, coffee shops, retail stores…
• Usually installed by consumers, locally powered and connected to a subscribers’ fixed broadband (e.g. xDSL, PON, cable…)
connection for backhaul to the operator’s network.
• Only requirement for the consumer to deploy this product is to have an existing IP connectivity (assuming a proper backhaul
QoS)
• In Nokia our current Femtocell portfolio is divided in two main segments: Home & Enterprise

 Nokia Femto Cells positioning in the Small Cells portfolio
Femto vs Pico cells
Nokia Small Cell indoor portfolio can be divided in two types of products:

Femto cells “ FlexiZone Pico cells

Those two type of indoor APs are both meant to bring coverage and capacity in indoor environments but their use cases might differ depending on
the customer experience drivers and the benefits researched by the operator and his existing installed base

 Pico & Femto Use Cases
Femto Use Cases
• Improve/resolve residential coverage issues
• Small offices with consumer led installation (<3 APs)
High Coverage • Small to medium offices which are poorly covered from
Area/Complexity
Stadiums / Macro and therefore have few areas of Femto/Macro
Sports arenas handover. (less than 10 Aps)
Shopping • Small warehouses & factories with poor coverage from
Factories / Malls
Warehouses
macro (less than 10 APs)
Transport Hubs
Large Office
buildings Any venues Pico Use Cases
Low using MOCN High
Capacity Medium Office Capacity • Any High Capacity or high interaction with Macro such
buildings as Stadiums, Shopping malls, airports, etc.
Small Office FZ Pico • Transportation hubs which typically have high capacity
buildings Femto and significant interaction/mobility w/ macro
Low Coverage
• Any use case which requires MOCN resulting in higher
Residential
Area/Complexity capacity requirements than femto supports
• Large area deployments due to higher power and macro
based scheduler and features (i.e., Large office
buildings, large warehouses, etc.)

Virtualization vs. Cloudification – Generic

I am a typical bare-metal application. I
am deployed on HP ProLiant BL460c
Gen9 servers. I rely on traditional
mechanisms for high availability. If you
run out of capacity then order a new
truck full of equipment and
commission/upgrade the system
I am a typical virtualized application. I
have no clue what HW I am deployed
on. But I know I am using 10 VMs. I
rely on traditional mechanisms and
virtualization enablers for high
availability. If you run out of capacity
then most probably you need to order a
new truck full of equipment and
commission/upgrade the system
I am a typical cloud application. I have
no clue what HW I am deployed on, but
most probably it is cheap and will fail. I
only use what I need at any point of
time. I expect failures to be common and
I am engineered accordingly. If you run
out of capacity then I will automatically
take more capacity from the cloud
resource pool
