Ubiquisys Ltd, pioneer of
intelligent 3G femtocell access points for the residential market, today
announced it has secured B-round funding totaling US$25m. The company's
A-round backers- leading technology investors Accel Partners, Atlas Venture
and Advent Venture Partners - have been joined by search engine Google in
the investment.
The Ubiquisys ZoneGate femtocell offers mobile users high-quality
mobile coverage in the home using their usual 3G cell phones. The device
plugs into an existing home broadband gateway or is built into a gateway
product that includes WiFi, DSL, Ethernet, phone ports and USB.

packages into homes using our ZoneGate solution,' said Chris Gilbert, CEO
Ubiquisys. 'We're delighted by the confidence our investors have shown in
our technology and its ability to deliver innovative applications via
ZoneGate's unique services platform.'
