[AusNOG] Femtocells

[Luke Iggleden]

I thought they put these in SY1 at equinix?

It went from below 10% coverage to full service in there.. Not sure if it was these mini cells though.. If it was them, it sure fixed the service issues inside SY1.

I had to take a day off work yesterday day to have an important 5 way phone call only to have my mobile constantly drop out which had the end result of having o reschedule the phone call. I am currently with Optus who have admitted poor coverage in my area to the extent that have cancelled my contract 23 months early!

However their usual tech support guys have no idea what I am talking about when I even mention femtocell. However knowing that I will be providing the backhaul how much data would it consume for a heavy user? Ie: when I am at home my mobile is my primary phone.
