Verizon Wireless updates femto offering

Verizon Wireless updated its femtocell offering with the launch of its 3G Network Extender replacing its previously offered Network Extender. The carrier said the Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.’s manufactured device will provide additional coverage in environments where a customer might have diminished cellular coverage due to walls or challenging topography.
Similar to other femotcell products, the 3G Network Extender relies on a customer’s broadband connection to backhaul voice and data traffic. The carrier said up to six devices can access the femtocell, and that there would be no special rate plans or additional monthly fees for the device beyond the one-time charge of $250.
