About Small Cell
Small cells are defined as low-powered radio access nodes that operate in licensed bands. They are mostly used in indoor and densely populated areas for providing better wireless network coverage. The coverage area of small cells varies from 32 feet to more than 3,280 feet, which is comparatively less than that of mobile macrocells. The types of small cells that are commonly used by telecom operators globally are femtocells, picocells, microcells, and metrocells.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Small Cell market to grow at a CAGR of 22.22 percent over the period 2013-2018.
