CommScope Webinar: Practical Considerations For Adding Capacity In A Small Cell Approach

The growing demand for connectivity everywhere continues to push operators’ networks to the limit, exposing holes in their coverage and capacity, especially in dense, urban areas. By 2020, cellular data traffic in the U.S. will exceed available macro capacity by almost 90%. This increased traffic shows no sign of receding.

Forecasts predict a 10x growth in mobile data traffic between 2013 and 2019, pushing network operators to quickly increase network capacity.

There are three ways for network operators to expand capacity: address spectral efficiency, add more spectrum, or increase the number of cells/sectors in the current network. Historically, when looking to increase capacity, operators have increased the number of cells/sectors, often through the deployment of small cells. But the practice has been challenging, owing to strict zoning requirements that limit placement.

Please join Philip Sorrells, Vice President of Wireless Marketing for CommScope, as he presents “So You Want to Go Small,” practical considerations for adopting a small cell approach to add capacity.
