Here is what is boosting the demand for small cell networks

The realities of our mobile data-driven era are clear: there is an increasing demand for higher bandwidth spectrum, rising mobile data traffic on present networks, and telecom-based technological growth; all boosting the demand for small cell networks. The increasing usage of smartphones and data services by consumers has resulted in huge data traffic over the current networks, leading to network congestion and dropped calls.

Skyworks Solutions reveals that, Small cells can offload data from licensed spectrum/unlicensed spectrum by using the combination of technologies such as 2G, 3G, and LTE along with carrier grade Wi-Fi.

Markets and Research expects the global small cell networks market to grow from $1.1 billion in 2015 to $3.9 billion in 2020, or a compound annual growth rate of 30 percent.
