SK Telecom Commercialized WiBro Femtocell. :: 2008/10/27 22:05
SK Telecom announced to develop and commercialize the first WiBro Femtocell. Femtocell is a small sized base station. SK Telecom has already provided WiBro (mobile WiMAX) service in Korea. However, the service has been able to be used at outdoor areas because of limitation of coverage range. SK Telecom announced that the WiBro coverage could be expanded into indoor areas with the Femtocell.
I think that the price of Femtocell is still expensive (around $300). If the price of Femtocell could go down to around $50, Femtocell would contribute to the expansion of WiBro service. Because the function of Femtocell is very similar to Wi-Fi Access Point's. (Even the external formfactor) Customers are able to buy a Wi-Fi AP with only $50. In sum, I think the Femtocell could be provided with around $50 in order to have a competitiveness.
