The Femto Forum has published an industry-wide agreed set of application programming interface specifications that enable advanced mobile applications based on femtocell technology.
The first applications have already been built based on these specifications by the Forum’s vendor members for operator customers.
Also, the group has worked with the Broadband Forum to update the standard for femtocell management to ensure customer equipment can be remotely updated to support advanced applications.
The specifications are for network-based APIs, which will allow operators to drive the development of femtocell-powered open access, enterprise and consumer applications.
