Samsung announced today the Samsung 3G
Ubicell Personal CDMA Base Station, launching in 2010, will be the next
product in the femtocell family. The 3G UbiCell, ideal for home or small
office, is a small plug-and-play base station that works with users'
existing mobile phones to provide secure, in-home cellular service over
existing public broadband networks.
Samsung Mobiles 3G UbiCell benefits
users by providing higher performance, lower cost coverage in a secure,
easy to install solution for use at home. The 3G UbiCell will also allow
carriers to provide a cost-effective solution to offload increasing 3G
traffic from the Macro network, provide superior signal to address
customer's needs for in-home coverage, help retain customers with
excellent performance for all family members, and provide for new
services such as home phone and incentives through bundled pricing.
One Phone, One Provider at Lower Cost
A UbiCell will allow users to eliminate the need for a landline phone.
With dependable in-home coverage, users will no longer have to pay for
separate landline charges for basic features such as long distance,
voice mail, caller ID and call waiting. A UbiCell will allow carriers to
offer differentiated services typical to femtocells such as presence and
home network, but a UbiCell also offers services such as home phone and
multi-number ringing to provide an opportunity to increase revenue
through additional MOUs and service plans.
"The 3G UbiCell enables our customers to quickly provide the complete
home experience with guaranteed full wireless services plus the
integrated home services to give a rich offering of converged services,"
said Nivi Thadasina, Director of Product Development, Samsung Mobile.
Simple Installation
Continuing with the proven performance of the initial solution, the 3G
UbiCell is easy to install and adapts to its environment with automatic
configuration, plug-and-play and remote operation and maintenance. The
system is ready to use out of the box without requiring any technical
assistance. It simply requires the user to connect the 3G UbiCell to an
available Ethernet port on their broadband internet router, plug-in to
an AC power outlet and turn it on. After installation, the UbiCell
registers with the Network to configure and begin service in a matter of
minutes.
Quick time to market
Samsung Mobile has an established track record as a world leader in
CDMA, WiMAX, LTE and consumer electronics technologies and offers a
complete solution with end-user devices, wireless core and access
infrastructure. Wireless carriers worldwide turn to Samsung Mobile to
offer proven end-to-end wireless solutions. The 3G UbiCell continues
that trend with a higher capacity, dual-band, and dual-mode device to
address all CDMA carrier needs to be deployed on a proven, fully
integrated network solution.
