Mobile Users in South Asian Developing Countries and Femto Technology

The study was conducted at University of Gujrat during 2015 with an objective to review the features of Femto technology that would address the question “is Femtocell a good choice for South Asian developing countries?” In this study the feasibility of using Femtocell in South Asian developing countries is highlighted. The practical disadvantages of using Femtocell in under-developing countries are also discussed. The licensed frequency spectrum operation of the said cell restricts the user to utilize various cellular companies’ network simultaneously. Moreover, Femtocell depends upon Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and both operate with electric power. South Asian countries are already facing power deficiency that results the availability of electricity at very high cost. The Universal Femtocell that woks on the whole frequency spectrum from GSM 800 to GSM 2100 is the theoretical solution for the said problem proposed in this study.
