Over a third of all mobile voice and data traffic originates in the home. That’s great news for 3G operators engaged in the battle to deliver converged services.
Unfortunately, house walls absorb most of the RF energy you pay so much to transmit. And the energy that makes it through to the user – as little as a fortieth of the outside signal strength – is scattered into multiple paths.
Worst of all, because all users in a 3G cell share the available power, service quality in the entire cell drops dramatically after adding only a few indoor users.
The challenge is clear: 3G operators must find a better way to get spectrum into the home without throwing money at the macro network.
