Small cells are low-powered radio access nodes, and they operate in licensed bands.These are used in indoor and densely populated areas to provide better wireless network coverage. The coverage area of small cells varies from more than 32 feet to a few miles, which is comparatively less than that of mobile macrocells. The types of small cells that are commonly used by telecom operators globally include femtocells,picocells, microcells, and metrocells.Small cell base stations play an important role in expanding the capacity of wireless

networks. Implementation of small cells is considered eco-friendly as it reduces the number of cell towers and provides a better signal with less power. Users experience low latency for data services and enjoy faster downloads and uploads with small cells.The global small cell market is expected to see significant growth during 2016-2021. In 2016, the Americas dominated the market, followed by APAC and EMEA. The global small cell market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.80% during the forecast period.
