Verizon Wireless Network Extender – Femtocell

Verizon Wireless Network Extender – Femtocell

This is an excellent product with a very unfortunate name. Why? Because it has given some people the completely misguided notion that it will help extend their wireless network data coverage.

Let me clear this up for you.

The Verizon Wireless Network Extender, which uses femtocell technology will not in any way extend or improve your wireless network coverage in terms of data usage (i.e using the internet). Calling it a network extender is a small blunder on the part of Verizon, as it has given some people a slightly misguided view of what it does.

However, this does not mean that the Verizon Wireless Network Extender is broken, or is something you should avoid. Quite the contrary, if you want to vastly improve the quality of your voice calls and extend the coverage of your wireless calling area, this is the product for you. Let me give you an example, let’s assume that you were unable to get cell phone service in a part of your yard, or maybe your basement. This network extender will expand your coverage area making it possible to make calls from areas you could not do so before.

Realistically this may not have wide applicability for most home users, especially at a $249 price point, Hopefully in the not so distance future this technology will be able to expand the capabilities of 3G technologies paving the way for at home applicability. However there are numerous businesses that could greatly benefit from launching this product at their workplace (i.e. apartment complexes, malls, etc).

Does this means that you should switch over to Verizon from your current carrier? I will leave that up to you to decide. But I will say this, in the Sprint versus Verizon war it looks like Verizon may be pulling ahead (and this is coming from a Sprint user).

Maybe it's time to start looking at Verizon phones?
