]]> Comment on Wireless Healthcare – It is Great to Work in Wireless! by David LaFuria http://www.opinionpole.net/2009/10/07/wireless-healthcares-impact-on-antenna-sites/comment-page-1/#comment-44 David LaFuria Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:52:41 +0000 http://www.opinionpole.net/?p=88#comment-44 Femtocells are not the only answer. Small repeaters that increase power levels in the home have a big future, espeically if they plug/play into an upstairs room/attic. With 4G, there's little need to have a fiber in the house to uplink, unless the homeowner has MRI machine in the guest room. Integrated 4G cards in laptops, netbooks, smartphones, and other devices, once operable in the home, should be able to talk back to the network and seamlessly communicate with the home network - and bluetooth may end up being unnecessary.
