CAMBRIDGE, U.K. -- ip.access ltd, a leading developer of in-building wireless picocell solutions, today announces a major picocell supply contract with leading mobile operator T-Mobile International.

T-Mobile is now deploying nanoGSM, ip.access’ picocell-based solution, to provide dedicated in-building coverage and extended capacity to customers across major GSM networks in Europe.
