 The holiday season (in the Northern Hemisphere) will have seen many head for the sunshine and/or beaches. Many look to escape from work and domestic pressures, having little or no communication other than sending a postcard.

service and equipment vendor. Having gone against the mainstream trend
of 3G femtocells, they've developed their own 2G GSM one and are intent on
creating end user demand for it. Prospective customers who want to
solve
their indoor coverage problems can register their interest at a special
website setup for the purpose. Where enough registrations are submitted, HSL can then use this to justify sales of their solution to the specific network operators. 
A Scottish firm has been pushing the envelope on who and how
femtocells may be sold and operated. Hay Systems, who have designed and
launched their own 2G GSM femtocell, have announced two new routes to
market. Here, we look again at the option for outsourcing the femtocell
operation as a managed service.
