According to an AT&T website, the carrier has launched its 3G MicroCell, a femtocell(INFO) router that connects to a customer's home broadband internet connection in order to increase indoor 3G reception quality. While there has been no official press release, PCMag's GearLog blog has confirmed a number of details with AT&T.
The $150 device allows up to four users to improve call and 3G data reception with no additional monthly fee. If customers hope to utilize the "unlimited talk" service offering, that additional feature will cost $20 per month, though it comes with a discount on the price of the MicroCell itself.
The device and service are expected to launch in other markets soon, though a mostly detailed AT&T information page for the 3G MicroCell makes no mention of availability except for in Charlotte.
The news is nearly in line with rumors we wrote about back in April that said the device would cost roughly $200 and would appear in late summer
