DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rs26vm/global_small_cell) has announced the addition of the "Global Small Cell Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The analysts forecast the Global Small Cell market to grow at a CAGR of 22.22% over the period 2013-2018.
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.
One major trend in this market is the increasing investment in small-cell infrastructure. The key purpose of all 'non-macrocell' solutions in a telecom network is to address the inexorable demand for coverage and capacity. Such solutions include small cells, Wi-Fi, DAS, and the emerging cloud RAN. Nowadays, smartphones are among the most widely used data-supporting devices at present.
According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increased demand for high-speed networks. The usage of mobile data services along with mobile voice services has been increasing in recent years.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the interference of small-cell networks with macrocell networks. The available spectrum for telecom signal transmission is limited. Hence, both macrocell and small-cell networks share the same frequency bands for signal transmission. This results in interference and unwanted background noise in the telecom network.
