Small Cell Testing Update: Getting Small Cell Networks Right Feature Report
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) February 23, 2016 -- As more small cells are deployed, scalability and reproducibility become central to return on investment, and new industry solutions are available that seek to streamline processes and shrink costs in order to make small cells viable on a large scale. This report looks at challenges involved getting small cells online, including siting and RF challenges; how vendors and operators are supporting more efficient processes; and balancing lab and field testing in complex, heterogeneous networks.
The report, entitled: “Getting Small Cell Networks Right,” contains vital takeaways including how the market has evolved over the past 12 to 18 months; where we stand today in terms of the small cell market and expectations for the technology going forward; expert observations on what makes a successful small cell deployment, and pitfalls to avoid; a gathering of carrier and infrastructure companies’ stated plans for small cell investments; and the influence of “Internet of Things”, the use of LTE in unlicensed spectrum and 5G network evolution on small cell strategies.
“Small cells are finally beginning to see the momentum that was expected for them, and even larger deployments are expected this year. This is being driven primarily by capacity needs,” said RCR Wireless News Editor Kelly Hill. “There’s also a growing desire to utilize unlicensed spectrum in addition to LTE, and operators’ awareness that they will need highly dense, distributed, small cell-based network architectures to address IoT and 5G applications. Macro sites aren’t going away, but we’re getting past the first, painful growing stage for small cells, and the industry is getting a better handle on making the numbers for return on investment and scalability work.”
