Mobile Phone Mast at Home
A new mobile phone signal booster has been launched by Vodafone this week. The signal boosters are called femtocells, which are basically mobile phone base stations which are able to boost the strength of the mobile phone signals within your house or place of business.
The system essentially reroutes all the calls to your mobile phone and from your old Samsung mobile phone, via your house or business broadband Internet connection. Vodafone is currently branding this new system has the Access Gateway; and the initial pricing here is £160 per unit plus a monthly fee of five pounds per month.
The femtocell unit can have up to a 4 mobile phones using it for calls at any one time, and you’re not limited to be handset as long as it would normally work on the Vodafone 3G mobile network. The appeal of this unit will be obvious for those people who live in rural areas and you often find that the signal quality of the mobile phones is very low; this is often choose to the lack of a nearby phone mast.
The consumer director of Vodafone UK was quoted as saying, the Vodafone access Gateway is designed to boost the mobile phone coverage in doors for those of our customers who currently need to move between rooms in their homes in order to keep a consistent signal strength.
Vodafone has said that testing of the new technology has been going on for a number of months and now it is believed that this system is ready to be launched commercially. The only stipulation is that users of the system will have to register the mobile phone numbers that they wish to use with the service.
Looking like any other ordinarily a route are, the booster unit just needs to be connected to a normal broadband telephone line and will then provide a localised and boost of 3G connectivity.
