UMA Technology Advances Mass Market Femtocell Deployments

Ubiquisys Ltd, the developer of intelligent femto access points for the residential market, and Kineto Wireless, Inc., the key innovator and leading supplier of UMA technology, today announced the successful completion of interoperability testing between the Ubiquisys ZoneGate 3G femtocell and Kineto’s UMA network controller.

This testing represents an important milestone toward enabling mass-market deployment of femtocells. The testing also demonstrated several key advantages of using UMA, a commercially proven 3GPP standard, as the core network integration approach for femtocells. These advantages include enabling mobile operators to leverage their existing core networks through standard interfaces to support femtocell deployments, as well as enabling seamless access to all existing core network services using standard 3G handsets.
