Joe Cozzolino, corporate vice president and general manager Motorola Home & Networks Mobility EMEA, said: "We offer a fully integrated and tested end-to-end solution, based on open standard interfaces, which includes a range of femtocell customer premises equipment and 3G devices, a core network concentrator, systems integration services and a CPE management solution - the Motorola Netopia) Broadband Server." Vincent Poulbere, principal analyst at Ovum, said: "In Europe, 30 to 40 percent of the cellular traffic is generated from inside the home. Femtocells provide a more efficient way for operators to manage traffic generated indoors, compared to the outdoor macrocells of the public cellular infrastructure. In Western Europe, we forecast that 12 million femtocells will be deployed in 2010 rising to 17 million in 2011."{moscomment}
