Market Highlights:
Mobile technologies have particularly created a positive impact on the developed regions. The increase in the mobile data traffic is driven by the rapid adoption of smartphones, which has pushed the telecom operators to provide a superior quality network to their end users. Such high dependence on the usage of mobile data has effectively driven the installation of small cells to reduce the bottlenecks in the available spectrum. Small cells can be installed indoors and outdoors and require minimum infrastructure, thereby reducing the capital expenditure and improving revenues for the service provider. Small cell network market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 31.00% It is projected that the Small Cell Network Market Size will expand and reach up to USD 3.25 billion during the forecast period 2022-2030.
A small cell is basically a miniature base station that breaks up a cell site into much smaller pieces and is a term that encompasses picocells, microcells, femtocells and can comprise of indoor/outdoor systems. With a macro base station, there is one pipe going into the network with small cells, which breaks the pipe into many pipes. The main goal of small cells is to increase the macro cell's edge data capacity, speed, and overall network efficiency.
Small cells are typically used in very densely populated urban areas, such as shopping centers, sports venues, airports, and train stations –anyplace with a huge number of people using data at a given point at given time. Most Small Cell Networks Market infrastructure deployments are targeted for outdoor use today. In contrast, indoor small cell systems may or may not incorporate Wi-Fi or unlicensed LTE bands (LTE-U)/Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA), depending on the capabilities that service providers want to support.

The increase in the adoption of mobile-based technology for various functions by end-users across the world has resulted in a steep increase in the mobile data traffic. The network in selected areas is expected to enable carriers to cope with the increasing demand for high-speed connectivity throughputs. Small cells can be deployed in the licensed and un-licensed spectrum, which helps in providing seamless connectivity to its end users. Such usage of small cells helps in reducing the overall cost of operations, thereby improving revenues.
Small cell networks are a form of wireless infrastructure that consists of a densely packed system of numerous antennas distributed in living and working spaces . They are low-powered radio access nodes that operate in a range of 10 meters to a few kilometers and are base stations with low power consumption and cost . Small cells can provide high data rates by being deployed densely to achieve high spatial spectrum efficiency. They are a potential solution to allow re-using the same frequencies, and as an important method of increasing cellular network capacity, quality, and resilience with a growing focus on using LTE Advanced. Small cells may encompass femtocells, picocells, and microcells and are being deployed more widely with the densification of existing wireless networks to meet the data capacity demands of 5G.
