Leading Femtocell Textbook Now Available in Japanese Language

Feb. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- ThinkFemtocell publishes a full Japanese translated version of the world's first book on femtocells (updated 2nd Edition). Femtocells are a disruptive and innovative new product, estimated to have shipped around 2 million units worldwide by end 2010, which condense all the functionality of a mobile phone cell tower into the size of a paperback book.

Operating at very low power, femtocells provide a service similar to cordless phones and Wi-Fi but instead use existing, standard mobile phones. Also known as Home Access Points, more than a dozen mobile networks already provide commercial service using them today and many more mobile networks are poised to launch these products around the world in the next 12 months.  Japan has established itself as a leading market for femtocells, with all of the top three mobile operators already having commercial femtocell offers.

Poor indoor coverage and data speeds become a thing of the past. Photographs and other data can be quickly transferred to and from the network. Innovative new data devices, following the lead of the Apple iPhone, deliver astonishing new applications. Femtocells also promise to bring about a new generation of innovative mobile services, based on their location awareness and connection to the home network.

Femtocell Primer was the first book to be published that exclusively deals with this exciting new technology. Analysts estimate a market size of over $3 billion, with over 40 million units to be shipped by 2013. The book enables industry players, social commentators, analysts and futurologists to keep fully up to date with this topic.

Written by David Chambers, an independent telecoms expert, the book balances arguments promoted by equipment vendors and operators. It provides deep insight into both the technical and commercial challenges and opportunities of this upcoming phenomenon.
This new Japanese translation by Makoto (Mark) Noda, a Japanese femtocell  telecoms specialist based in Tokyo, and employed by Airvana, brings this work to the technically literate Japanese market. Airvana provides femtocells that are used in the Japanese market.

The associated website, ThinkFemtocell.com, attracts thousands of readers from around the world, interested in actively following this hot topic.

"Many working in the mobile phone industry need a quick and effective way of keeping up to date with new developments", comments the author. "Femtocell Primer provides an excellent introduction to this topic which is comprehensive, up-to-date and independent written in an easily digestible form".

The Japanese version can be bought online from Amazon at http://www.amazon.co.jp/Femtocell-Primer-Japanese-David-C... and at many leading book retailers. The English language version of the book is also available in printed and Kindle download formats worldwide.
