Updated:2008/3/4 10:46
T-Mobile''s Venture Fund has made an investment in 3G femtocell developer, Ubiquisys, joining Google and original investors Accel Partners, Atlas Venture and Advent Venture Partners. The Ubiquisys femtocell is currently in mass production with Sony Technium. These units are being used by Ubiquisys'' partners such as Nokia Siemens Networks and NEC, to satisfy operator trials worldwide including T-Mobile.

They pave the way for new mobile services that put the mobile phone at the centre of the connected home, and allow operators to offer improved fixed broadband + mobile bundles." said Axel Kolb, Fund Manager, T-Mobile Venture Fund. "We identified Ubiquisys as the clear leader in this space, with an innovative product, a strong deployment ecosystem, and unique software to enable femtocell-ready applications." "Femtocells seamlessly join-up mobile phones, home networks and broadband internet for the first time.

"We are delighted to have the support of one of the industry''s most prominent venture groups, a company that shares our view of how of femtocells can revolutionise the mobile experience."
