Can this $150 mini cell tower designed for your home, allow your 3G phone to connect via your VSAT on your yacht? Certainly an interesting prospect. The faq says that it will not work over satellite internet.

If anyone has any real world experience with this, please let me know at howard@marinesatellitesystems.com

The range of a microcell is less than two kilometers wide, a picocell is 200 meters or less, and a femtocell is on the order of 10 meters,[1] although AT&T calls its product, with a range of 40 feet (12 m), a "microcell".[2]
