FAQs
Why does my femtocell need a GPS antenna?
Your femtocell has a GPS antenna so that it can:
•
Synchronize properly with the rest of your service provider’s network.
•
Determine and select the correct radio frequencies available in your area so that your
femtocell uses the correct radio frequencies.
Why does my femtocell need an external GPS antenna?
Your femtocell needs the external antenna only when the internal GPS antenna cannot lock on
to sufficient satellite signals. The external antenna lets your femtocell lock on to the greatest
number of satellites.
What happens to my femtocell if there is a power outage or if I lose Internet
access?
Your femtocell needs both a broadband Internet connection and a constant power supply to
work. During a power outage your wireless phone or device will immediately switch to the
service provider’s network.
Can I move my femtocell to another location?
Yes, you can move your femtocell to another location within your service provider’s network.
