Airvana Intros New CDMA Femtocell with Integrated Analog Telephone Adaptor and Router

Airvana, a provider of technology and products that transform the mobile experience, has announced the HubBub Connected Home Femtocell (News - Alert) with integrated analog telephone adaptor and router.


With this femtocell technology, consumers can lower their home phone expenses and enjoy the many benefits of integrated mobile and fixed-line voice services, and at the same time improve their mobile phone experience with 5-bar coverage.

HubBub Connected Home Femtocell is a new version of the HubBub CDMA femtocell from Airvana (News - Alert). The product also received the 2009 3G CDMA Industry Achievement Award for Subscriber Technology Innovation.

Femtocells are relatively new technology that is poised to transform the subscriber’s mobile experience by providing consistent and reliable in-building 3G coverage.

In a press release, company officials say the combination of an Internet router and analog telephone adaptor in the femtocell solution allows subscribers to use it as the core of a comprehensive home telephony solution that integrates the traditional home phone with their mobile phone service.

The design of the integrated unit allows the router to prioritize voice traffic being channeled through the femtocell to ensure a quality subscriber experience for all services, even when high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming or large data downloads are being used.

“While consumers are increasingly relying on their mobile phones for voice communications at home, many still want the option of using their existing analog telephones as shared family phones,” said Vedat Eyuboglu (News - Alert), chief technology officer and co-founder, Airvana, in the release.

Eyuboglu added that by incorporating an analog telephone adaptor within our HubBub CDMA femtocell, they have given operators a solution that combines the benefits of fixed-line and mobile services into a single comprehensive and unified service.

By connecting to the HubBub’s analog telephone adaptor, consumers can take advantage of familiar cordless phones already in place throughout their home and keep their existing home phone number.

For mobile operators that do not offer fixed-line voice services, the HubBub Connected Home Femtocell delivers all of a subscriber’s mobile and fixed-line telephony services, enabling them to enhance average revenue per user (ARPU).

The solution also allows integrated operators who offer both fixed-line and mobile services to reduce their analog voice subscriber churn by offering compelling converged services that link mobile phones with home phones, Airvana officials said.

According to Perry LaForge (News - Alert), executive director of the CDMA Development Group, Airvana’s HubBub CDMA Femtocell reflects the innovation and efforts of the CDMA community to provide subscribers with a wide range of new services.

“Femtocells (News - Alert) and other technologies will play a key role in operators’ efforts to efficiently and cost-effectively increase ARPU while addressing the growing demand for 3G performance,” LaForge added.

Recently TMCnet reported that Airvana has identified a significant mobile network “load multiplier effect” caused by smartphone data traffic on the macro-cellular network. Airvana engineers found that for a given volume of data transmitted, one smartphone will typically generate eight times the network signaling load of a USB modem-equipped laptop.
