Boston, MA - 5 December 2007 - Strategy Analytics analyst, Asif Anwar, chairs a session on Femtocell challenges at the Second International Conference on Home Access Points in the Broadband World, Thursday, December 6, 2007. The session will focus on vendor challenges for deployment of femtocells, and new standards developments, as more Fixed and Mobile Convergence (FMC) occurs in the home. At this session, papers will be presented by AT&T, Huawei, picoChip, Telefonica Espana and the Femto Forum.

According to Stephen Entwistle, VP Strategic Technologies at Strategy Analytics, "Users are seeking a single personal mobile device for all communications; thus there is a currently a concern that fixed telephony technology may be threatened. However, if operators drive femtocell deployment, Strategy Analytics research shows that this threat can be changed into an opportunity."
