The only notable change found by MobileCrunchis the presence of a new logo operator.
This implies that this operator will launch out soon in the famous FemtoCell technology that will allow the customers who want to put up a mini antenna in their residence able relay GSM to their mobiles and communicate using DATA.
There are several advantages with this technology:
- It allows cover without problem inside buildings, even in white area.
- In spite of its low power, equivalent to that of a Wi-Fi terminal, it allows on the telephone to use a fraction of its maximum power to communicate with the network.
- It can operate using the economies on the communications that come as part of VoIP and to have DATA transfers maximized by internet connection.
- The operators can use these cells to develope a network with lower costs in the very dense zones.
SFR has worked officially with this kind of thing for a few months, and we would not be astonished that Free.fr also makes use of this technology. Indeed for them, this is an excellent means is of minimizing the development cost of their 3G network. For the customers there will be of course also a notable interest. They will be able certainly to use their mobile on their premises or via a Freephone network without having to pay the cost of a mobile communication.
