Lime Microsystems joins ‘FemtoZone’ at Mobile World Congress 2009

Lime Microsystems has announced it will be participating in the FemtoZone at Mobile World Congress 2009. The FemtoZone, which is hosted by the GSMA and the Femto Forum, will serve as a one-stop shop for all visitors interested in learning about the latest developments in the femtocell industry as it undergoes a pivotal year for deployment.

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.
