CommScope Small Cells

A small cell is a cellular base station that transmits and receives defined RF signals with low power and in a compact solution.

As data traffic increases dramatically and subscribers’ performance expectations grow, supplementing macro networks with small cells is an effective way to provide coverage and capacity.

Growing Networks, Shrinking Footprints

Standardization – Small cell deployments used to be unique and required site-by-site engineering. This was very costly and time consuming. Today’s networks demand solutions to be standardized and compact from the antenna, radio, and peripheral components.

Modularity – A broad selection of modular solutions is critical to ensuring successful small cell deployment, particularly in urban areas. Site components must support a wide range of deployment scenarios to address the many challenges.

Collaboration – Operators, utilities, municipalities, and vendors should all work in tandem. Communicating issues and finding solutions will help increase the chances of success.

Aesthetics – Unsightly, bulky equipment or messy cables on poles are unacceptable by today’s standards. OEM’s are building a diverse selection of concealments into their design while adhering to local codes and national standards.

Your small cell choice needs to be compact, attractive, flexible, and future ready. Your small cell choice needs to be CommScope’s Metro Cell and RF solutions!
