French-based Bewan Systems has launched a new femtocell unit that also includes Wi-Fi capabilities in an effort to catch the forecast upsurge in deployments.
Bewan claims that its new iBox home gateway supports 3G, 802.11g and ADSL in a single unit that overcomes the heat dissipation problems encountered with earlier products from competitors.
Also, the company said the iBox home gateway significantly reduces the number of cables and devices involved with home access points, cutting the cost and complexity of installation for consumers.
A new study from Juniper Research finds that femtocell access points will increase to multi-million unit quantities over the next three years.
