AUSTIN, TX — (Marketwired) — 05/08/13 — The heterogeneous network, or het-net, is the multi-pronged approach that mobile operators are using as they try to meet the growing demand for mobile data. In addition to RAN upgrades and new licensed spectrum, the Het-Net is also comprised of small cells.
With the release of its latest research on distributed antenna systems (DAS), iGR has now completed its overview of all segments of the small cell market. In 2013 iGR has published separate market studies for the U.S. Total Addressable Market for 3G and 4G LTE metrocells, residential femtocells, enterprise picocells, and DAS. Each study discusses the unique drivers for the individual market and provides a 5-year total addressable market forecast.
“iGR-s research of the small cell market is unique,” said Iain Gillott, president and founder of iGR, a market research consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile industry. “We have analyzed in great detail the markets for metrocells, picocells, residential femtocells, and DAS and have differentiated the distinct drivers, opportunities, challenges, and size for each market. No other firm has provided this type of detailed view of the small cell market.”
iGR-s small cell market studies include:
