29. What are Small Cells?
Small cells are low-power wireless access points that provide improved cellular
coverage and capacity for homes, enterprises, and metropolitan and rural
public spaces. They range from femtocells (the smallest) to microcells (the
largest).

Address UMTS (future LTE/Wi-Fi)
coverage issues reflected in CIQ data
or enterprise customer complaints
Small Cells
Relieve capacity demand in-building

31. Comparing In-Building Solution options
Repeaters*
Repeaters (also called BDA or bi-directional amplifier) are used in small (<100K sq. ft) venues to expand coverage. A repeater uses a rooftop antenna draw
capacity from a nearby macro cell site as the RF source and rebroadcasts the signal throughout the facility. Donor cell site capacity is shared with external
traffic and is not dedicated to the venue. DAS antennas and splitters provide coverage to various locations inside the building from the input of the BDA.
Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
The Macro BTS is the RF source primarily used in the macro network. For in-building applications, BTS are expensive and require dedicated backhaul, but offer
a coverage & capacity solution that can support a large number of users over a wide area.
Distributed Antenna System (DAS)
The DAS distributes the RF signal across antennas that are installed throughout the facility. A Small Cell, BDA or BTS can be used as the RF source for the DAS.
Primarily used to modify, improve or extend coverage of a site. Primarily used in large buildings, stadiums, public spaces, airports, enterprise & outdoor
environments with strict zoning, etc.
Small Cells
Low-powered radio access points (less than 1 Watt) that improve indoor and outdoor coverage to increase capacity and offload traffic. Deployments have
been underway since the beginning of this year.
Femtocells
Femtocells are small personal BTS providing service over a limited area (5K sq. ft) to a limited number of users (4~20). Primarily used in small office / home
office or residential areas.

City, NY:
Indoor Coverage & Capacity Solution:
Ex. 20 Small Cells: 4 per floor x 5 floors
“The Metrocell is working very well, we’ve seen significant improvements with data connection
and speed which was our biggest issue before installation. Voice also seems to be working well.”
“The individuals within the office have seen a stronger signal and are able to make and receive
calls in areas that they couldn’t before.”
“The new system seems to be working – my primary benchmark is whether or not I experience
dropped calls …. I am not. In the past I received a voice mail notice but the phone never rang to
give me an opportunity to answer it. Now all calls are coming through.”

Small Cells are used in densely populated areas to
help augment the wireless carrier’s capacity and
for small pockets of coverage
Macro BTS will continue to be the most efficient way to
provide wireless service across America
Small Cells offer operators a system that is potentially more cost effective
than other solutions
Cost effective backhaul solutions are necessary in order for Small Cells to
realize their potential
