Event Description

The value proposition for femtocells is enticing. As fixed-mobile substitution persists, and consumers increasingly adopt bandwidth hungry high-speed data services, femtocells are a low cost solution for wireless carriers to enhance their networks’ coverage and capacity, particularly within the home or small office environment.

Femtocells represent a new frontier; an easy plug and play offering for frustrated consumers who struggle with dropped calls and bad reception, and a way for wireless carriers to alleviate demand on their macro network. In addition, once deployed, femtocells can enable a whole host of consumer value-added services which carriers could leverage to increase ARPU, drive customer loyalty and gain market share from cable and landline service providers.

However, there are obstacles to overcome before the value proposition for femtocells can be realized. Business models, industry standards, interference, regulation, and cost. These are all crucial issues hindering femtocell advancement and deployment.

Addressing these issues in meticulous detail, and offering solutions for favorable economics is the ACI Femtocell Summit. Taking place October 27-28, 2008, this executive-level conference will provide not just the quality of information you need to further your femtocell strategy, but offer invaluable networking opportunities with the key players within the industry.
