3GPP regulator paves way for standardised 3G UMA VoIP cellphones
"Completion of the 3G UMA standard could not be timelier, with strong operator demand for both 3G dual-mode handset and femtocell services. The vendor community is also preparing to deliver UMA-based 3G solutions. In the dual-mode handset market, we’ve seen recent announcements about UMA-enabled 3G dual-mode handset platforms from both Qualcomm and NXP. And in the femtocell market, NEC, Motorola, Ubiquisys and Netgear have all announced UMA-based solutions as well as trials with O2 and Telia" Patrick Tao, vice president of technology, Kineto
Femtocells are compact cellular network bridges that provide pockets of mobile coverage by passing it via a hardwired broadband connection; O2 are trialling the system in the UK and plan a 500 user roll-out this Summer.
