What’s “femtocell”? According to Wikipedia, originally known as an Access Point Base Station—it’s a small cellular base station, typically designed for use in residential or small business environments. It connects to the service provider’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable); current designs typically support 2 to 5 mobile phones in a residential setting. A femtocell allows service providers to extend service coverage indoors, especially where access would otherwise be limited or unavailable.

Femtocell has been created by Motorola in 2002. Its marketing in Europe will begin at the end of 2008.
