ip.access participated in a proof of concept for 3G femtocells by
SoftBank,
Japan's leading telecommunications and media corporation. ip.access' Oyster3G femtocell was included in SoftBank's proof of concept programme, which took place in
Tokyo on Monday 2nd July 2007. The event was the first of its kind in
Japan. The proof of concept shows mobile voice, video and data calls using the Oyster 3G femtocell to provide a 3G signal directly within the home. It also shows plug-and-play installation and configuration, which makes femtocells easy for consumers to install at home, and for operators to manage. Operators all over the world have expressed huge interest in femtocells, but the announcement of SoftBank's proof of concept tests mark the beginning of a new phase in the development of this technology.
