3G Home Femtocell Market to Grow to More than $9bn by 2014

Femtocell-based services used by 3G mobile subscribers will generate in excess of $9 billion per annum by 2014, according to a new study from Juniper Research. The Femtocells research found that Femtocell access points will increase to multi million unit quantities over the next two to three years. With continued growth in the developed nations in North America, the Far East and China and Western Europe, these regions together will account for 90 percent of service revenues by 2014.

The femtocell industry has seen landmark developments recently in areas such as interference management, architecture and business case. Report author Howard Wilcox explained: "3G femtocells are now positioned for the mass market in developed nations. Femtocells are a winning strategy for mobile operators. Not only do they fix patchy in-building coverage, they spell the chance to reduce churn, reduce backhaul costs and acquire new revenues”.

Further findings from the Juniper Research Femtocell report include:
- Multimillion dollar revenue opportunities for vendors and mobile operators alike as early as 2010/11
- After trials in many developed nations, the next stage for mobile operators is to transition to commercial service with convincing, branded consumer service propositions
