Femtocells bring many new opportunities to operators and end-users.

Femtocells provide high quality voice, high-speed data and additional value to services in residential, office and public areas. They represent a convergence of mobile access, service delivery, location and presence. This ability to deliver services in context will be catalyst for new services that strengthen a user's social network and address their lifestyle needs. They have the potential to support viral consumption of enhanced services and data and will play a crucial role in the growth of mobile broadband.

The technology addresses the issues of delivering new bandwidth-hungry services to end-users who want to receive the same services regardless of where they are.

Femtocells bridge mobile and fixed networks, but it is only in combination with NEC's unique experience of IT/NW convergence that the true potential of this technology is realized. In this way, Femtocells will become a key component of next generation networks and an ubiquitous network society.
