Branded networking solutions company Netgear is teaming up with NEC, a global provider of internet and broadband network solutions, to develop an Integrated 3G Access Point, it has been revealed.
The technology will be incorporated within NEC's Femtocell Solution offering.
Netgear's Femtocell Voice Gateway (DV G834GH) will form part of NEC's increasing portfolio of multi-vendor Access Points based on standard interfaces.
Netgear's DVG834GH will support Iu-over-IP and Sip interface and also supports a standard 3GPP compliant air interface which allows end users to make or receive calls using their existing 3G handset.
Anil Kohli, director of Global Femto Competence Centre at NEC Europe, said: "We are delighted to work with Netgear to offer their innovative femtocell product as part of our market-leading Femtocell Solution.
"The global market for femtocells is set to grow massively, with some forecasts predicting several million femtocells deployed by 2011. With this collaboration, NEC and Netgear are addressing a key segment of the market which demands a femtocell integrated with a residential gateway."
