Outdoor small cells deployment challenges today• Suitable locations
– Integrity, dimensions of street infrastructure– vs. Traffic demand– Dominance vs macro– Precise placement of the small cells required.
• Backhaul– Cost, bandwidth & availability
• Suitable equipment design & form factor
• Concession owners/councils– Revenue or Digital agenda?– Source of revenue for TowerCos– Monopoly of available assets.– Street de-cluttering regime– Planning permission – lack of consistency– Road closures/permissions for deployment/maintenance
• Non-ideal solution to indoor capacity/coverage• Solution needs to scale – macro preferred.
Outdoor small cells & 5G?
• Higher frequencies, higher data rates – increase in small cells
• So…….all the current issues plus:– Backhaul is even more critical– bandwidth & latency, architecture
changes, access & cost.
– Smaller coverage footprint
– For 5G all MNOs are expected to drive small cells demand in the same locations.
– Sharing models will be need to be examined
– Cost & scale
– Even less suitable for indoor coverage/capacity
• Indoor solutions needed for 5G
