One application for Femtocells




Femtocells can make home energy management.

ip.access and AlertMe.com showed how femtocells can be integrated into smart-home energy-management solutions. With femtocell integation , the AlertMe Energy service can automatically detect when the house is empty and power down lights, televisions, and other home appliances. The service also can switch the services back on when the resident returns home. The solution works by allowing electrical appliances to switch on and off automatically in response to the presence or absence of mobile phones in the home. This "presence" information, which is routinely gathered by the femtocell, is normally only used to route cell-phone traffic and set tariffs.

Dr. Andy Tiller says "Using a femtocell to personalize supplementary service codes is a new and unique idea. It enables the mobile phone to become a powerful controller for all kinds of applications in the home. And because it's a network-enabled feature, it works with any handset. There are no applications to install."

The mobile phone is increasingly the remote-control for your life. Most people carry their handset everywhere they go, making it an ideal control for this service

In the business, the mobile operator could offer a smart-home energy-management solution as an integrated option to its femtocell subscirbers
