Abstract
An repeater device (11) connects to a master femtocell (cellular access point) (10) device, which in turn connects directly to the Internet (3) by means of a broadband access circuit (2), and through the Internet to the fixed infrastructure of a cellular network. The inbuilt radio configuration services of the repeater femtocell (11) and master femtocell (10) allow it to configure its co-existence with the main femtocell unit, to ensure the optimum coverage is provided for the user, without interference between the two units.
