Small cells promise a cost-effective solution for filling coverage gaps, increasing bandwidth, and getting the networks ready for 5G without the need to build more expensive macro sites . Indoor applications are obvious and plentiful. Small cells are ideal for use in places where macro antennas can’t reach.

One FCC commissioner recently estimated that the US needs 800,000 small cells to make 5G a reality. International Data Corporation (IDC) expects over two million—by 2021.
Read moreWhy does 5G require millions of small cells?
The reason for this expected growth in 5G small cell technology is because millimeter wave signals – the gold standard of 5G connectivity – don’t travel very far, and can’t penetrate walls, therefore making small cells vital for in-building coverage .18 Şub 2021
