In today’s generation, customers have become dependent on their smartphones for all type of interactions. Small cells are low-power base stations that are basically used to improve network capacity and network coverage which in turn helps end uses to strengthen their wireless connectivity. 5G telecom operators are basically focusing on deploying small cell under low frequency band for providing improved bandwidth services to customers. Femtocells are invented to provide extended coverage for residential applications and enterprises. Picocells are suitable for applications extended network coverage, small-scale enterprises and data throughput. Microcells are invented to support slightly large number of users and cover larger cell size. Therefore, they are suitable for applications such as smart metros and smart cities.  

Small Cell 5G Network Market Dynamics

Continuous increment in mobile data traffic across the globe is driving the growth of the Small Cell 5G network market. 5G networks are anticipated to carry about one-third of the mobile data traffic, globally. Therefore, the demand for technically advanced telecommunication network is increasing favorably. The CBRS band is the key factor driving the small cell 5G network market. Small cell offers cost effective mobile coverage solutions for large enterprises and third-party neutral host providers and enables multi operator support. CBRS small cell network untangles network integration efforts and is able to improve the user experience as compared to wi-fi offloading. Poor backhaul connectivity is the major restraint of the small cell 5G network market it is due to ultralow latency of 1 millisecond (ms) connectivity requirements.

COVID 19 Impact on Small Cell 5G Network Market 

Covid-19 pandemic resulted in surge in implementation of industrial automation across various industry verticals such as discrete manufacturing, e-commerce and transportation & logistics sectors which will drive the demand for the 5G for IoT connectivity. In the European regions, a number of countries such as Italy, UK and Germany are hit by Covid-19 due to which various 5G rollout plans have been delayed.
