Google Invests in Ubiquisys
Google has taken part in a $25 million investment in UK 3G data specialist Ubiquisys, which makes Femtocells.
Analyst firm ABI Research estimates that 32 million femtocells will shipped by 2011.
The giant teamed up with Accel Partners, Atlas Venture and Advent Venture Partners to jointly fund a company that develops femtocell technology. This boosts 3G phone and data coverage inside buildings, by connecting to the resident's home broadband network to improve the phone's reception.
The technology could cut voice and data tariffs in the home. Orange is among the networks investigating it.
