Chunghwa Telecom, Alcat-Lu to deploy Taiwan’s first femtocell network

Alcatel-Lucent has been awarded a Femtocell bid from Chunghwa Telecom, a telecommunications provider in Taiwan, to deploy Taiwan’s first femtocell network, which is expected to improve the coverage of Chunghwa Telecom’s mobile network inside homes and offices.

Chunghwa Telecom plans to launch its femtocell service with the goal of extending and improving its cellular coverage throughout Taiwan, particularly in homes where the signal sometimes may be either limited or unavailable.

Femtocells are small base stations, about the size of a paperback book that can be deployed in home or office environments to extend the reach of mobile networks.

Alcatel-Lucent will supply Chunghwa Telecom with an end-to-end solution including its Base Station Router (BSR) Femto – which incorporates 3G W-CDMA radio access and core network elements into one unit. The deployment will include the company’s service routers and Home Device Manager fromMotive, now part of Alcatel-Lucent’s portfolio. Additionally, Alcatel-Lucent will be responsible for deployment, project management and end-to-end network integration for the project.
