Femtocell Masterclass

Scheduled to preceed popular related conferences, ThinkFemtocell runs a half day Femtocell Masterclass. The class is designed to bring delegates up to speed with current femtocell technology. It’s suitable both for newcomers to the technology as well as those who need to become current again. This ensures delegates derive maximum benefit when participating in the associated conference that follows.

We had some very positive feedback from previous MasterClass sessions. Delegates can normally sign up for the class when registering for the conference itself.

Delivered by David Chambers, ThinkFemtocell founder and well known industry expert on femtocells, the content is designed to be independent, concise and up to date. There will be opportunities to ask questions both during session and offline.

The technical session introduces femtocells and provides an explanation and updates on:

• System Architecture and Operation
• Status of common technical issues
• Wider applications: Residential, Enterprise, Metro-Femto, Rural
• Femtocell standards: 3GPP and 3GPP2
• Different Technologies: LTE, CDMA, WiMAX, GSM
• HetNet: Combined femtocell and macrocell networks
• The growing eco-system of suppliers
