A femtocell is a small, A5-size base station box aimed at improving indoor coverage, especially for higher-frequency services such as third generation (3G) services. Similar to picocells, femtocells are even smaller cellular base stations that are designed for use in residential or corporate environments that connect to the customer’s own broadband connection using an Internet Protocol link for backhaul.
Industry:Technology
Smaller than picocells, these cellular base stations are designed for use in residential or corporate environments that connect to the customer’s broadband connection using an IP link. Advantages include lower cost than microcellular technology, physically smaller units and greater network efficiency. See also picocell.

Federated search aggregates the results of a user-initiated search to multiple search engines and presents those results back to the user. Sometimes federated search interleaves the results, so that they are compared with each other; sometimes they are just presented next to each other as alternatives.
Industry:Technology
Federated identity management enables identity information to be developed and shared among several entities and across trust domains. Tools and standards permit identity attributes to be transferred from one trusted identifying and authenticating entity to another for authentication, authorization and other purposes, thus providing “single sign-on” convenience and efficiencies to identified individuals, identity providers and relying parties.
Industry:Technology
Federated application life cycle management (FALM) is a suite of technologies and practices that generally includes metadata integration, workflow and process management facilities, tying together the management of at least two stages of development, underlying change version and configuration, and including the ability to customize the process flow of application development, integration and maintenance projects.

A feature smartphone is a mobile communications device that is optimized in its specification and features to support one or more primary functions like music, video, gaming, pictures, browsing, mobile TV, navigation and messaging. Compared to entry-level smartphones, these devices usually have larger displays, more powerful processors, more embedded memory and better battery capacity. These devices can have a touchscreen to help the manipulation and consumption of content and data input. They can include an enhanced or full qwerty keyboard to support rich messaging.
Industry:Technology
Online diagnostics that detect and isolate faults in real time, prevent contamination into other areas, and attempt to retry operations.
Industry:Technology
A generic term for improved packet-switching technologies such as frame relay and cell relay. Fast-packet techniques feature less functionality than traditional X.25 packet-switching for higher packet-switching speeds and lower processing costs.
