Comment on Vodafone’s femtocell won’t improve mobile broadband by mbbrocks.com

Thanks for the details David. Tim – I absolutely agree – this product is perfect for what it’s designed for – improving handset voice and data access. I’m afraid for mobile broadband access on a laptop it’s a case of the emperors new clothes. It’s ridiculous to route your data over a HSPA network, tunneled over DSL – your performance will decrease due to the overheads, plus you may end up paying for your data twice (your fixed line ISP and Vodafone). There’s only a couple of fringe use cases where this could be beneficial to the customer.

The key question is are Vodafone’s customers loyal enough to buy an additional product just to get the service they expect in the first place? Why not change networks?

More to the point, if you are at home, why don’t you just use your desktop machine?!

This is perfect for what it’s designed for and that is maximising coverage for voice and video calls in homes that are a black spot. Modern smartphones have wifi so if you were at home and wanted to use data on your phone, you’d just use that surely?

This first version of Vodafone’s Access Gateway supports HSPA peak data rates of up to 6Mbit/s downlink and 1 Mbit/s uplink. This isn’t just helpful for those using broadband dongles (which many people still do even indoors at home), but will also speed up the experience on many smartphones and similar devices.

These data rates exceed the speeds of many existing HSPA devices today. The next version of this product (supplied by Alcatel Lucent) supports rates of 14Mbits down and 5Mbit/s up, and other femtocell manufacturers are already demonstrating products that achieve 21 Mbit/s. Obviously not so useful unless you have exceptionally fast broadband, but it all helps.
