Femtocells increase your coverage and stop iphone congestion

Ever heard of a Femtocell? These little chips act as mini cell towers, bringing cellphone service to areas that usually have spotty, at best coverage.

They also function as additional tower strength in areas where congestion is so bad that the networks slows down to a trickle. In these instances, it is good for reducing traffic temporarily because femtocells are much cheaper than actual cell towers.

It is a strange thing, that you sometime find yourself in a busy area and you can't make a phone call. Cell carriers are slowly figuring out new ways to enhance signal strength, but I think we're still a ways off from having full coverage everywhere. I imagine the newer phones will have better antennae and be capable themselves of enhancing the signal no matter where you are. Either way, cellphones are seemingly becoming better but the service isn't.

For now, I wouldn't recommend looking into a femtocell unless you aren't getting service at your home or office but need to.
