18th February 2010 12:28:21
Femtocells may be offered to those who receive enterprise services from Network Norway in the near future, with the firm showing support for the technology.
The femtocell access points, which are being developed by NEC, will improve the coverage of those making use of mobile phone handsets in the country's indoor locations.
Network Norway's chief executive officer Arild E Hustad believes that it is important to tackle coverage problems.
He commented: "We are now able to carry out a pilot to commercially and technically test state-of-the-art phone services solving the problem with indoor coverage, as well as a continuous, high-speed broadband service."
The partnership was confirmed during the Mobile World Congress 2010 event which has recently been held in Barcelona, Spain.
Earlier this month, it was announced that 2G nanoGSM picocells developed by ip.access are to be offered to those who receive enterprise services from the French network operator Bouygues Telecom.
