What is Small Cell 5G Network Market?
The role of small cells in a network increases with a “G”. It increases the load on macro cells by increasing the network capacity. Small cells are used in dense areas where the penetration of macro signal is inadequate. Mostly, they are deployed in indoor and outdoor environments for delivering rapid data services to customers. Small cells are popular in 4G LTE coverage and capacity enhancements. However, with inclination towards 5G, there will be availability of 100MHz bandwidth within 2.6 to 5 GHz range. Also, the small cells for 5G will be deployed for 4T/4R for increased throughput.
The market study is being classified and major geographies with country level break-up.
Ericsson (Sweden), Huawei (China), ZTE (China), Cisco (United States), NEC (Japan), Nokia (Finland), Fujitsu (Japan), Samsung (South Korea), CommScope (United States) and Airspan Networks (United States) are some of the key players profiled in the study.
