Is that a Cell Tower in your Pocket?

What's in your wallet?

Do you need a better cell signal? The researchers of the major telecoms think that they have the answer - a femtocell base station.

With all the current mobile bandwidth quickly being eaten-up by all the fancy multimedia mobile apps that Google, Apple, and others put out, new solutions are being devised to relieve the growing network congestion. 

About the size of a TV remote, a femtocell operates essentially as a portable cell phone tower, but at a much lower power output. It is designed to be used in homes and offices to provide an enhanced mobile signal within a 10-meter radius.

At $150-$250, this may be the answer to your bandwidth problems.
