4. Which of the following is not true for Femtocell base stations?
a) Short range
b) Low power
c) High cost
d) Wireless handsets
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Femtocell Base Stations (F-BSs) are short-range, low-cost, low-power indoor devices to provide service for wireless handsets. F-BS, which looks like WLAN Access Point (AP), is a small device with at least two wireless and internet interfaces.

5. Any existing wireless telecommunication standard cannot be used at F-BS wireless interface.
a) True
b) False
