Description

Femtocells could be set to shake-up the mobile applications space by enabling a new generation of apps that build on the ability to connect directly into the home network as well as use presence information. Yet this will only be possible if the industry can agree on common APIs and court the developer community.

This presentation will provide an insight into the future direction of the femtocell industry, assess the challenges and opportunities LTE brings and look at lessons learned from WiFi deployment.
