The Oyster 3G Access Point is a tiny, consumer-friendly 3G base station optmised for the home. It’s a low-cost, high performance W-CDMA femtocell delivering voice and HSPA services to the home while improving capacity in the entire cell.
The physical box is a standalone unit with an Ethernet interface to the user’s broadband connection. The Oyster 3G Access Point can also be embedded into other residential gateway products, (e.g. ADSL or Cable/WiFi Routers).
Based on a software-intensive parallel DSP core, the Oyster 3G femtocell is software upgradeable in the field to be compatible with the latest W-CDMA and IP network features.
The femtocell presents a 3GPP W-CDMA standard air interface, so that existing R99 and new R5 and later (IMS capable) handsets can be used with no loss of features.
The Oyster 3G Access Point comes equipped with a mains to 12V DC power supply, and Ethernet cable to connect to the home LAN.
