picoChip and Continuous Computing to co-host Light Reading webinar on the technological challenges of femtocells

To attend the webinar participants can register at: www.lightreading.com/webinar.asp?doc_id=28726&promo=27020



In this webinar, picoChip and Continuous Computing will discuss their views on the femtocell market and the technological challenges facing mobile operators looking to deploy femtocells, focusing on the role of femtocells in the network infrastructure evolution.



Operators are looking at femtocells and wireless technology evolution onto 3G and 4G networks - whether via HSPA, WiMAX, or LTE/UMB - as a way to introduce revenue-generating services such as mobile TV, games, and mobile search while offering consumers the advantages of fixed-mobile convergence. In parallel, residential gateways, IPTV, and WiFi access points are starting to converge into multi-service devices.



This webinar presents the business case and architecture options for merging these complementary technologies into a converged solution delivering quadruple play services. Femtocells, the underlying market dynamics, and the software / hardware architecture possibilities for delivering femtocell solutions will be discussed.



Topics to be covered during the webinar include:

• Network evolution and the indoor coverage challenge for 3G and 4G

• Network infrastructure evolution

• The integration challenge of femtocells

• Standardization and segmentation within the market

• Network architecture options: benefits, disadvantages, and market drivers

picoChip and Continuous Computing will be available for a live Q&A discussion on these topics immediately following the presentation.
