At work we are contempating about changing the drivers to existing hardware. (or more precisly: having them changed) People are looking at the huawei GSM dongles. Normally they are used to act as an gsm-modem, but the idea is to use existing usb-dongle, that should be able to act as a femto-basestation for people with a normal handheld/blackberry within one meter distance. My first reaction was one of sceptism, but according to the people of huwei it is do-able, no hardware changes needed, just some (major) software rewrite. Even if it only doing 1 meter radius coverage, _if_ it succeeds it woud be wonderful, as those dongles costs about 60 euro's. hw
