SMALL CELL SOLUTION

Small cell picks up for 5G

Deploy the right solution to maximize ROI and enhance user experience

Mobile users expect app availability everywhere, at any time, on all smart devices. This demand drives mobile network operators to start planning for dense heterogeneous networks (HetNets). It is predicted that new deployments of small cells will increase by 50% in the 2018-2020 period, with a second sharp rise in 2023-2024 for 5G densification.

Considering the right small cell for network deployment with the following important points

The above findings are extracted from Small Cell Forum surveys of1. Deployment plans and business drivers for a dense HetNet: SCF operator (SCF194.10.01), December 2017 2. Small cells market status report December 2017 (SCF050.10.01)

Market shows that residential small cell dominate new deployments, but non-residential small cell deployments are growing at CAGR of 36%, and deployments will be 22 times higher by 2025.

40% operators expect to deploy between 100 to 350 small cells per km² in the areas they plan to densify by 2020.

Operators see small cells as the key to offer improved depth of coverage and boost traffic and voice services in densely-populated urban areas. To maximize return on investment, small cell site locations must be determined based on actual, localized data traffic demand.
