Unstrung notes that US operator Verizon Wireless has confirmed speculation by launching its first femtocell. Manufactured by Samsung, the Verizon Wireless ‘Network Extender’ aims to improve voice and data connections for users living in difficult coverage areas but does not support the operator’s 3G EV-DO network. Meanwhile, Unstrung also reports that AT&T may be about to launch a 3G femtocell, possibly manufactured by Cisco.
