This Korean electronic equipment vendor is probably better known for its range of mobile phones, although does have some infrastructure products. They have been initially focussed on CDMA (which has been popular in North America, Korea and Japan).
Launched the Ubicell - CDMA version in production 2007, and announced WCDMA version to be in production 2008. Includes GPS to ensure the system is not used where operator does not have licenced spectrum. This facility may also be useful for location services including E911 emergency calls. Its possible the GPS signal is also used for sychronisation, but this is not confirmed. The unit therefore may need to be located near a window in order to receive the GPS signal to operate correctly. Sprint (the US operator with CDMA and WiMax technologies) announce availability here. This uses 1xRTT and so is ideal for voice, texting and slow/small data usage, but does not support high speed data modes such as EVDO. US FCC granted approval on 26 April 2007 for their CDMA version used by Sprint - view the certificate here. This states maximum power of 83mW and frequency tolerance of 2.5ppm in the band 1930 to 1990MHz. The test report shows some more detailed photos.Samsung also partnered with ZTE to produce the Home NodeB in February 2007, further details unknown. Signed a deal with Skyworks in November 2007, who will supply transceivers, amplifiers and other components. Their VP (Americas) claimed that femtocells would be deployed across North America during 2008 , with trials and deals rumoured with Verizon, another large CDMA US operator.
