Re: ? why do i want this ? said by wifi4milez:said by jimness000:You might want it so that you could have mobile internet at higher speeds than typical cell connections. And, since you'd have it for that purpose, you'd cancel your land connection and go 100% WiMax. You could have higher mobile speeds at home, but you cant cancel your "land connection" because the femto needs an internet connection itself in order to work. What he means is that you can cancel your *landline connection* (remember, femtocell software can be an add-in to router software, such as Tomato/DD-WRT/OpenWRT, or as a hardware-based add-on (router + hardware femtocell, much as WiMax is deployed today in the EU); both approaches are possible).
The Internet connection can be CHSI (that is used by WiFi VoIP today), so why is VoIP over WiMax impossible, or even implausible? | | |

New York, NY | said by PGHammer:femtocell software can be an add-in to router software, such as Tomato/DD-WRT/OpenWRT No, a femtocell is a hardware device that has a 'cellular' radio built in. It is meant to communicate with cellphones, its not the same thing as wifi.
said by PGHammer:or as a hardware-based add-on (router + hardware femtocell) You are correct about this, it would need to be a dual function device (or a standalone femto which wouldnt make sense in this case) in order to be feasible.

| What could be the case is a femtocell that is a combination device (wireless + femtocell).
It could even be the equivalent of a network device (femtocell that connects to a router via Ethernet) so it could be used to connect to customer-owned routers, or both.
(Such a femtocell would be the equivalent of a home Mifi device, or T-Mobile's Hotspot@Home, but based on femto tech.) | |
