T-Mobile is working with femtocell providers Ubiquisys Ltd. and Huawei (News - Alert) Technologies on interoperability testing, which will take place at the service provider’s labs over the next six months.
The two vendors’ femtocells will communicate via the 3GPP’s new Iuh standardised open interface and connected to a Huawei femto gateway into T-Mobile’s (News - Alert) core network.
“To reach their full market potential, femtocells must be more like mobile phones -- interchangeable with the network they connect to,” said Will Franks, CTO and founder at Ubiquisys (News - Alert). “As a pioneer in this industry, we designed our femtocell from day one to connect to multiple femto gateways, ready for the introduction of a 3GPP standardized interface.”
