[November 21, 2009] Samsung Mobile to Release 3G UbiCell Personal CDMA Base Station Tweet Nov 21, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), a mobile phone provider in the U.S., announced the Samsung 3G Ubicell Personal CDMA Base Station, launching in 2010, will be the next product in the femtocell family. The 3G UbiCell, for home or small office, is a small plug-and-play base station that works with users' existing mobile phones to provide secure, in-home cellular service over existing public broadband networks. The 3G UbiCell will also allow carriers to provide a solution to offload increasing 3G traffic from the Macro network, provide signal to address customer's needs for in-home coverage, help retain customers with performance for all family members, and provide for new services such as home phone and incentives through bundled pricing. An UbiCell will allow users to eliminate the need for a landline phone. With dependable in-home coverage, users will no longer have to pay for separate landline charges for basic features such as long distance, voice mail, caller ID and call waiting. A UbiCell will allow carriers to offer differentiated services typical to femtocells such as presence and home network, but a UbiCell also offers services such as home phone and multi-number ringing to provide an opportunity to increase revenue through additional MOUs and service plans. "The 3G UbiCell enables our customers to quickly provide the complete home experience with guaranteed full wireless services plus the integrated home services to give a rich offering of converged services," said Nivi Thadasina, Director of Product Development, Samsung Mobile. Samsung Telecommunications America, a Dallas-based subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., researches, develops and markets wireless handsets and telecommunications products throughout North America.
