AT&T To Deploy Femtocells aka 3G Microcell Next Week

Many of you will be very happy to hear that AT&T is working to improve their services. A few days ago we reported that AT&T has expanded its 3G coverage, and now we are pleased to announce you that the carrier will be deploying femtocells as soon as next week. Rumors say that the “soft launch” will occur in a few cities like San Antonio, Atlanta, Seattle, and one city in North Carolina with the help of Cisco Systems.

AT&T is the last major carrier in US which doesn’t feature femtocells as both Sprint and Verizon feature 2G CDMA boxes that improve voice call quality within homes. Although it’s been more than a year since we first heard that AT&T is deploying femtocell technology, it seems like the carrier’s subscribers will not have to wait anymore for good data speeds so that they can use their iPhone properly.

At the moment is nothing official as both companies declined to comment on the rumors, however, a statement of an AT&T spokeswoman says that “we will have more news closer to launch” and you know what does this mean, right? It means that there is a launch, and hopefully, AT&T will launch femtocells next week.
