Du has announced that it will be deploying Alcatel-Lucent supplied femtocells for its fixed and mobile converged services, scheduled for launch by the end of 2010. Leveraging its existing fixed and mobile infrastructure assets, Du will now deploy Alcatel-Lucent’s small cells technology to help its customers overcome indoor mobile coverage issues.
Alcatel-Lucent will provide its end-to-end Femto-based 9360 Small Cell portfolio – consisting of the 9361 Home Cell, the 9362 Enterprise Cell, the 9366 Small Cell Gateway, and Small Cell Management & Customer Care systems.
In October 2010 Etisalat announced the deployment of the first femtocell live project in the country, also provided by Alcatel-Lucent.

Aren’t femtocells supposed to come with another advantage to service subscribers? Lower tariff, not just better coverage?
