Femtocell firm ip.access has unveiled a 3G residential small cell which can provide 3G signals for up to eight phones simultaneously within a home or home office.
Designed for operation in Closed Access mode, the C-class AP allows the home owner to choose which phones can access the small cell to make and receive calls, surf the web or download music and movies at speeds of up to 14.4Mbit/s.
The C8 unit is built with the firm's Oyster 3G technology, which is used by Cisco in the largest femtocell deployment with AT&T in the US.
"Our picocells and femtocells already serve millions of subscribers in homes, shops, offices and busy public locations," said Dr Andy Tiller senior v-p product strategy and marketing at ip.access.
"We are further extending our nano3G solution with our own C-class product as a natural complement to our existing S-Class and E-Class 3G units," said Tiller.
