Femtocells are small cellular base stations designed for indoor use in homes or businesses. They connect to the service provider's network via broadband and support 2 to 5 mobile devices, extending cellular coverage indoors. Femtocells incorporate the functionality of a typical base station but allow for simpler self-contained deployment in licensed spectrum using a fixed broadband connection, primarily for homes with lower power, smaller coverage, and supporting fewer subscribers than traditional base stations.
