Seven products in one, the Femtocell Voice Gateway reduces the clutter of multiple networking devices and the jumble of wires. The gateway simply plugs into an ADSL line and enables consumers to share their broadband connection to the Internet with all of their mobile devices and networked computers, both wired and wirelessly. Featuring a 3G (UMTS) femtocell with HSDPA, plus high-speed 802.11g Wi-Fi and four 10/100 Ethernet ports, the Femtocell Voice Gateway makes it possible for end-users to download large files, video conference, and distribute and play high-quality digital movies, photos and MP3s on mobile devices in the blink of an eye.
In addition to its unparalleled capabilities, the NETGEAR Femtocell Voice Gateway also includes NETGEAR’s Smart Wizard® Install Assistant for ease of installation and management. Simplifying and accelerating setup, Smart Wizard automatically detects and configures the gateway for virtually all ISP connections. Then, easy to follow on-screen prompts guide users through each step of installation.
The Femtocell Voice Gateway’s double firewall (NAT + SPI) protects the network with business-class security against intruders and malicious attacks, including logs and alerts of break-in attempts, while the VPN pass-through allows safe connections to business networks from a home or office. Also ideal for VoIP, the Femtocell Voice Gateway, which supports SIP and several popular codecs, turns broadband lines into both a private mobile network and a phone line to minimize phone costs. Designed to industry standards-based specifications with TR-069 Remote Management, the femtocell gateway can also support the future addition of such advanced features as IGMP Multimedia Support.
“With the growing deployment of high speed 3G services, combined with the popularity of multimedia handsets, mobile phones are fast becoming the convenient way of accessing the Internet, media content, and messaging. Femtocells dramatically extend this convenience factor, giving mobile users great coverage and maximum speed 3G data in a low-cost environment – at home.” said Will Franks, CTO and Co-founder of Ubiquisys.
“Our development with NETGEAR delivers on the promise of a fully integrated home gateway, placing the mobile phone at the center of innovative residential service models. Ubiquisys femtocells are currently in trials with ten mobile operators, providing further evidence of the company’s leadership in the femtocell space.”
The NETGEAR Femtocell Voice Gateway (DVG834GH) can be seen in action at the Ubiquisys stand (1G19) at Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona, February 11-14, 2008.
