Only exclusive licensing of additional mid-band spectrum for full-power use can provide sufficient radio propagation and received-signal strength to deliver the increased cellular data capacity required across entire national networks. Alternatives, including low-power unlicensed, medium-power shared and millimeter wave spectrum that require extensive network...
CFO says that carriers are moving into the densification phase of 5G
Only about half of Crown Castle's cellular towers have been "touched with 5G," according to the company EVP and CFO Daniel Schlanger.
That doesn't necessarily equate to the 5G build-out cycle being halfway...
As digital services evolve and users continue to demand faster speeds and higher availability, network densification is proving to be a key driver for enabling successful 5G networks. Small cells, in particular, are seen by operators as a method of increasing cellular network capacity,...
CommScope director of engineering: 'When densification increases so does the amount of power'
In the U.S., operators are expected to deploy five to 10 times more small cells than macro cells, and CTIA has forecasted that by 2026, more than 800,000 small cells...

While 5G networks continue to be a major topic in the network communications industry, there are still many questions around how 5G will be achieved.
Digital usage trends—such as 220 million connected vehicles on the road by 2020 and videos accounting for 82 percent of...
Explosive growth in mobile data traffic means companies must make an important choice about their operations.
According to the latest Visual Networking Index: Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update, mobile data traffic has been growing 60% to 100% per year and total traffic will increase...
Addressing cellular infrastructure for small to mid-size (SME) enterprise has hit a major challenge in terms of who pays for the in-building system.
Carriers are often willing to subsidize enterprise solutions for large-scale customers (usually in the form of a classic DAS), but the ROI...
Explosive applications growth. Massive bandwidth needs. Enabling 5G network densification for both fixed and mobile wireless is a high priority for operators.
The use of millimeter microwave technologies is rapidly gaining traction to support fixed broadband connections encompassing a broad range of wireless applications related...
The future of wireless networking depends on the widespread deployment of outdoor small cells. Not only are small cells essential for realizing the full potential of 5G, but they are also key to the success of LTE License Assisted Access (LAA). Paving the way...
Small Cell Forum says growth is ramping up
A new survey shows that nearly 60% of operators expect to focus on small cells in the first years of 5G deployment, as they roll out targeted densification to support enhanced mobile broadband and other 5G use cases.
The...
Those in the in-building wireless (IBW) market have heard about different “hybrids” to fix the indoor cellular connectivity problems virtually every enterprise experiences. Whether it’s in the board room, the CEO’s office, or during an important sales call – dropped calls, poor cellular reception,...
Boca Raton, FL
Whoop Wireless LLC, an OEM of in-building mobile reception systems, is announcing the launch of the Whoop 10-4 Small Cell Interface Head–end (10-4 SCI) which provides an affordable yet high quality solution for mid-sized buildings. The 10-4 SCI supports mobile phone signal...
This year’s Small Cells Americas Conference focused around talks on "5G," in-building infrastructure and the "internet of things." If there is one concept that filled the expo hall and session rooms as much as any other, it was network densification.
