CellPhone Routers (Femto cells) are low-cost 3G access points that connect to an operator's core network over the consumer's broadband IP connection enable wireless service providers to provide a home phone solution. Consumers will be able to easily install femto cells at home and use them to access the service provider's voice and data services using standard 3G handsets.

Cellphone Routers will allow service providers to offer lower or flat-rate tariffs for calls made from home because they utilize consumer-supplied backhaul, power, and real estate. In addition, Cellphone Routers will offload the macro-cellular network because an estimated 35% of all calls on today�s macro-cellular networks are made from home. This network offload will allow operators to add subscribers to their network without purchasing additional macro-cellular equipment or new spectrum.

Consumers who use Cellphone Routers will benefit from lower-cost calling at home from their preferred mobile devices. They do not need to sign up with a new service provider or get a new telephone number just to reduce the cost of calls made from home. They can also now use their handset to download and upload multimedia content using their home's high-speed data connection. Additionally, installing a Cellular Phone Router at home ensures that the consumer has excellent coverage and voice quality.
