Applications Live!

The inaugural Femtocell Applications Live! event was held on 23 June in London and provided a visual showcase demonstrating how femtocell applications could potentially change our lives and highlighted what  types of application developers could build for femtocells.

The event was supported by 11 companies who gave demonstrations of novel femtocell applications, ranging from new ways to control your media server to "virtual fridge notes" and home automation. Although the majority of applications were provided by femtocell vendors, two independent application developers, Intrinsyc and Mobica, presented their applications at the event marking the first small step forward towards creating an application ecosystem. Video clips of some of the applications shown at the event are included on this page.

Femtocell Applications Live! will be a regular event designed to  showcase the potential of femtocell applications, to recognise the very  best of femtocell applications and to provide a focus event for the femtocell application developer community. Ultimately, the event aims to move from showing applications that illustrate potential services to showing the most novel, cutting edge commercial femtocell applications.

Here are a selection of this year's demonstrations.
