Small Cells to Dominate 4G Mobile Network Deployment

CAMPBELL, Calif., Jan. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report released today by Mobile Experts predicts a 3000% rise in small-cell deployment for mobile data networks. "The good old days of Tower and Power are ending," said Joe Madden, Principal Analyst at Mobile Experts. "Mobile data has moved indoors, and the network is moving indoors as a result. We will see dramatic growth in femtocells, picocells, and DAS networks, as well as ongoing strength in microcells and repeaters. Relays will also be entering the market, adding a new dimension to the HetNet."

"We have interviewed over 25 different mobile operators to understand the regional preferences of operators worldwide," explained Mr. Madden. "It's clear that mobile operators will continue to maintain control over most of their network assets. For example, we are now forecasting that in 2016 less than half of the small cells deployed will be owned by consumers."
