Provide high-performance mobile coverage at home

Mobile operators have been searching for licensed indoor coverage solutions since the beginning of wireless networks. Unfortunately, the bulk of this opportunity (i.e. residential environments) has been beyond the addressable market for cost and operational reasons.

To be successful, a residential licensed access point (i.e. femtocell) solution must include low-cost femtocells, a reasonable approach for managing RF interference, and a standard, scalable, IP-based approach for core network integration.

While recent developments from silicon and femtocell access-point vendors promise to address the cost and interference issues over the next several years, a solution for core network integration has remained a challenge. As UMA provides standard, secure, scalable and cost-effective IP-based access into core mobile service networks, it is now being leveraged to address this challenge.
