WIA White Paper: DAS and Small Cells Evolve to Meet Today’s and Tomorrow’s Connectivity Needs

Technology advances increasingly blur the lines between the capabilities of Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and other small cells. Many DAS networks have become less complex (at least easier to install) while small cells have become smarter. Building upon its 2013 report, the HetNet Forum has...

How to cost-effectively deliver multi-carrier in-building coverage

  Nextivity’s Supercell helps enterprises make the most of small cell signals There are three foundational facts that are shaping the in-building cellular market. We know that the vast majority of mobile traffic originates from inside buildings; similarly, we know that modern businesses, regardless of size,...

How machine learning can improve siting for small cells

Report: Put small cells "where there is high traffic demand but low signal quality" Small cell deployments have followed a few broad trends in the past few years. The first wave serve to fill in holes in network coverage; the next wave was used to...

Altran, T&W to accelerate 5G small cell deployment

T&W: Small cells are expected to be “a major building block” for 5G networks Mobile network operators are increasingly looking to small cell radio access nodes to densify capacity on LTE and 5G networks in order to increase capacity and support enhanced quality of experience...

Small cell densification will require new fiber and lots of it

Clearfield: RAN and core are obviously important but “none of that works without the fiber” The role of fiber optics in 5G deployment is an often-overlooked part of the conversation, but according Clearfield Chief Marketing Officer Kevin Morgan, the role of physical network infrastructure is...

Nextivity White Paper: Indoor Cellular Coverage Solutions 2019: Hype vs. Reality

A variety of solutions and technologies are available to facilitate cellular communications, but not all solutions to this problem are created equally. In addition, some technologies are marketed as a cure-all while the actual application may be somewhat narrower. By separating hype from reality, you...

Opposition to 5G small cell deployment spreads across US

Opponents consider 5G small cell installations to be at best an eye sore and at worst a serious health risk 5G, the fifth generation of wireless technology, will give consumers access to more information faster and make businesses more efficient, and will create an unprecedented level...

Court vacates part of FCC small cell deregulation order

FCC Commissioner: "It's time to go back to the drawing board" In an effort to accelerate small cell deployments in support of U.S. 5G leadership, the Federal Communications Commission last year adopted an order meant to streamline the review and permitting process associated with small...

Have FCC updates to small cell rules had an impact on deployment process?

In September last year, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission passed an order meant to make it easier for operators to deploy small cells and other wireless infrastructure by superseding state- and local-level regulations. The regulatory body, which passed the rule change 3-1, characterized the...

The state of the small cell market: A Q&A with CommScope

As carriers bring 5G to market, delivering a consistent, monetizable service is largely dependent on network densification--beyond upgrades at the macro level, this ongoing investment will include large-scale deployment of small cells. For operators looking to harness millimeter wave spectrum, this is particularly important given...

Corning White Paper: Future-Ready Mobility

Every enterprise mobility infrastructure investment made today will be expected to migrate to 5G. Infrastructure with a future-ready posture will minimize the surprises in that LTE to 5G transition.
