The FemtoZone (Stand - 2.1B34) will
feature a daily schedule of public presentations from operators and
vendors on the major opportunities and challenges facing the femtocell
market. Lime Microsystems will be making a presentation about
"Opportunities and Challenges for RF Silicon Devices in Femtocells" at
16:00 on Tuesday February 17th. Lime Microsystems will also be
displaying its product in the femtocell ecosystem product showcase in
the FemtoZone.
"The FemtoZone is an ideal forum for Lime’s multi-band multi-standard
transceiver technology," comments Ebrahim Bushehri, CEO of Lime
Microsystems. "The femtocell industry has very specific requirements for
RF silicon and we hope to share the benefits of our experience in this
sector in our presentation."
"Over the past year the femtocell industry has overcome major technical
and business challenges paving the way in 2009 for operators to
introduce commercial services. As such the Mobile World Congress is
going to be a key event for operators to cement their consumer
propositions to ensure their launches are as successful as possible,"
said Professor Simon Saunders, Chairman of The Femto Forum.
"This year’s Mobile World Congress marks the beginning of the real acid
test for femtocells. The FemtoZone will attempt to address the key
issues, such as what is going to be the key driver for successful
deployments and are there going to be further technical hurdles to be
addressed before we see large scale deployment," sad Robindhra Mangtani,
Director of the GSMA project on Femtocells.

Forum (www.femtoforum.org) has been set up to promote the wide-scale
adoption of femtocells. The Forum will support and drive the adoption of
industry wide standards and common architectures to enable the
widespread adoption & deployment of femtocells by operators around the
world. It will direct and implement a multi-faceted marketing campaign
to raise the profile, drive technology development & deployment and to
promote the potential of femto solutions among industry stakeholders,
journalists, analysts, regulators, special interest groups, standards
bodies and consumers. |
