US : GENBAND has announced that its G9T Converged Media Gateway is now available to support the Media Gateway (MGW) and Signaling Gateway (SGW) functionality in both femtocell and Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) fixed-mobile convergence network architectures.

A femtocell allows mobile service providers to extend mobile coverage into office buildings, homes, and other facilities that may have limited access to the mobile network. A femtocell is a small base station that directs the wireless traffic to the mobile service provider over a fixed broadband connection.
