‘The small cells market to reach $233.7m in 2012’ says Visiongain report

Oct. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- With an ever increasing proliferation of mobile broadband, the small cells market is poised for growth for vendors and solution providers as there is a huge uptake both from the consumer market, enterprise sector and the mobile operators, driven by limited spectrum and capacity constraints.

Following the widespread growth of smartphones and other portable connected devices in recent years, there has been a huge expansion in mobile data consumption. One of the key issues for MNO’s has been to address this increasing data traffic demand with sufficient capacity at high speeds. Due to limited spectrum availability and increasing rates of data consumption, the user experience is somewhat sacrificed. One of the solutions to the rising wireless broadband capacity crunch is through deploying heterogeneous networks (Hetnets) comprising of macro cells and a range of small cell solutions, namely microcells, picocells, carrier Wi-Fi and femtocells.

The visiongain author of The Small Cells Market 2012-2017 report commented that ‘More recently, with the widespread rollout of 4G LTE technologies there has been a renewed vigour in the deployment of 4G small cells in the form of public space femto cells and mini eNode base stations, in order to keep up with the increasing capacity and backhaul requirements for ubiquitous access to mobile broadband at 4G speeds’.
