Walt Mossberg, the venerable consumer technology editor for the Wall Street Journal, reviewed femtocells today. Specifically, he reviewed the AT&T microcell.
The interested reader can check out the whole article here.
Be sure to read to the end, when Walt describes what it took to make the femtocell work in his son’s basement apartment. In the end, they needed to use Wi-Fi to extend an Ethernet connection into the basement.
It took Wi-Fi to make the Femtocell work. Ironic.
Of course, with a Smart Wi-Fi App on the phone, Walt and his son could have gotten the coverage boost of a femtocell, using the Wi-Fi which was already in the apartment.
