Every now and then a piece of kit comes along that's entertainingly clever, solving a problem you didn't know you had. In this case, it’s Poly’s desktop station for mobile phones, the Elara 60W, which transforms your phone into your own PABX-style reception console or conference phone.

If you’ve got poor Optus mobile reception at home, you can now use any Wi-Fi connection anywhere to make and receive Optus mobile calls and SMS messages.

Optus is taking an unusual route to improve its network, recruiting customers to give feedback about reception and speed.

The only scam around femtocells is the ridiculously bad media coverage that suggests that femtocells are a scam, when really they're like a 3G Wi-Fi device for your phone's voice, SMS and MMS capabilities.

For several years now I have been asking Telstra to bring femtocells to Australia as they eliminate blackspots via existing wired broadband, as Optus put Telstra and David Thodey's claims of putting the customer first to shame by saying 'yes' to an Australian femtocell trial.
