If you were dreaming about an AT&T femtocell solution then you might be in luck! It seems that the carrier will launch femtocells soon. A certain Microcell femtocell is about to be soft launched next week which means the official launch is imminent. The device will be available in Atlanta, San Antonio, Seattle and some markets in North Carolina so in case your area isn’t listed here you’ll have to wait some more until actually being able to boost that poor cell phone signal with an AT&T femtocell. Fortunately for you we’ll keep an eye on such devices so you won’t miss official availability dates and prices when the Microcell becomes officially official!

A certain Canadian carrier, which we will conveniently name Telus in what follows, will be launching its HSDPA network in quite a few Canadian markets. To be more precise Telus will soft-launch the new network starting with September 2 and it will focus initially on the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Telus will therefore be able to test everything before the nationwide release. And everything should be thoroughly tested and set in place by February 12th, 2010 when the 2010 Winter Olympics will start in Vancouver and Whistler. Anyone anxious about all of this in Canada? Drop us a line and tell us how Telus works.
