Why small cells are a big part of 5G capacity

May 13, 2020

The deployment of 5G wireless technology over the coming decade is expected to rely on the deployment of many small cells. For example, the CTIA primer on small cells estimates there will be 800,000 small cells in the USA by 2026. Mobile operators will look to small cell technology to add data capacity in areas of traffic congestion. This dense small cell network both increases the radios per subscriber and provides subscribers improved signal quality for more efficient data transfer. The shorter distance between radio sites also helps overcome the short signal reach of higher frequency 5G radio spectrum.
