Vodafone Booster, femtocelle estern

Rome - Vodafone Italy introduces Vodafone Booster, industrial device that the developed technology of the femtocelle takes advantage of from Alcatel-Lucent, in order to inside assure a cover of the mobile net of buildings, houses, systems and partially isolated zones where it marks them mobile do not arrive.

The technology, already used in the United Kingdom, Japan and United States, lacked in Italy. The femtocelle they are apparatuses that, once connected to a modem or router of a logon to wide band, of it take advantage of the traffic in order to create a minium-station radiobase acting as from repeaters: in this way the femtocella it creates a domestic cell that takes advantage of the same logon in order to create a private net, that it covers the cover holes extending the mobile wide band for a constant cover of voice and data in the maximum area of 500 meters pictures.

Compatible with technology UMTS/HSDPA, the device of Vodafone it will disembark in the points Vodafone sale from the 18 you open them.
The two previewed models: Vodafone Booster V2.0c that for 169 euros offer to a cover till 90 meters pictures for a maximum of 4 contemporary logons, and Vodafone Booster V1.5e that for 549 euros a cover till 500 meters guarantees pictures for a maximum of 8 contemporary logons. Besides the price for the device other expense or rate, like AT&T instead ago as an example oltreoceano would not have to be demanded no. In absence of bottle hills the customer obviously receives in exchange a theoretical logon to 14 Mbps (draft of an ideal esteem).

Although the femtocelle it is not a particularly recent technology, in Italy some issues remain in dance that have up to here not been resolved (and that they do not come completely cleared from the page of presentation of the product). Made all those tied to radio frequencies, emissions, date blank retention (probably managed in phase of homologation and with a log cetralized), before is relative to localization of the apparatus: Vodafone, in this case, specific that is necessary to communicate the exact address in which it will come installed the equipment, and that it will work alone in that zone; as then this equipment can come localized remains dark, even if the more probable thing is that Vodafone reservoirs to localize it with a triangolation regarding adjacent traditional cells.

The second issue, that it comes down directly from before, is the same installation: to the light of I launch of the recent measures that have given life to the white one of the assigned technicians to the installation of devices that are connected to the freenet, appear at least improbable to assume that an apparatus like this, that it works in radio frequency and for which goes created white list of customers, can come installed in autonomy from the customer.

At last, there is in dance the issue of the neutrality: The scope of Vodafone Booster is to offer a continuous cover in order to carry out calls, to send SMS and MMS and to be annoying in mobility from a position eventually covered or insufficient covered from the net 3G does not recite the Vodafone site, appealing to the so-called principle of the emergency services in order scovare the fissure within which making to re-enter these apparatuses in the Italian norm. Although this would have to guarantee, on the technical plan, the liceit� of the technology, remains to understand if other operating (all those which supply ADSL in Italy, as an example) are happy for loading the traffic mobile voice and data of Vodafone on own net: it is worth the pain remembering, in this case, the clutches that tutt'ora persist between a supplier of VoIP services like Skype and same Vodafone. If the others you leave been involved had to decide to apply criteria similar to those of the British operator, the practical use of femtocelle the Vodafone could be more complex of the previewed one.
