Driven by in-building wireless
coverage requirements and the growing influx of mobile broadband data
traffic, a traditional macrocell based cellular network deployment is
not deemed to be a sufficient solution to address the coverage and
capacity needs of today’s wireless subscribers.
Wireless carriers are thus exploring
options to offload additional coverage and capacity to alternatives such
as strategically deployed small cells and WiFi access points, which
have so far been deployed by more than 150 global wireless carriers.
Adding further to the heterogeneity are alternative deployment models
such as Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and the emerging Cloud Radio
Access Networks (RAN) architecture which concentrates the processing of
the RAN segment of a mobile network in one or more centralized data
centers.

Driven by the thriving ecosystem, we
expect small cells and carrier WiFi deployments to account for nearly
$352 Billion in mobile data service revenues by the end of 2020, while
overall spending on HetNet infrastructure is expected to reach $42
Billion annually during the same period.
This report presents an in-depth
assessment of the global small cells and carrier WiFi market, together
with an evaluation of the DAS and Cloud RAN technology. In addition to
covering the technology, business case, the challenges, standardization
initiatives, the industry’s roadmap, value chain analysis, deployment
case studies, vendor service/product strategies and strategic
recommendations, the report also presents comprehensive forecasts for
the market from 2013 till 2020, including individual revenue and
shipment projections of small cells, carrier WiFi, small cell backhaul,
Small Cells as a Service (SCaaS), DAS, Cloud RAN, Self-Organizing
Network (SON) and mobile data services across six geographical regions.
Also provided are historical figures
for 2010, 2011 and 2012. The report comes with an associated XLS
datasheet covering quantitative data from all figures presented within
the report.
Key Findings
- Small cells, carrier WiFi, DAS and Cloud RAN infrastructure investments will account for a $42 Billion HetNet ecosystem by 2020
- Small cells and carrier WiFi deployments are expected to carry more than 60% of all mobile network data traffic by 2020, which will account for $352 Billion in mobile data service revenue
- At present, the small cells and carrier WiFi infrastructure value chain is highly fragmented with ‘pure-play’ and incumbent macrocell vendors battling to gain a higher share of the market
- SNS Research expects the value chain to consolidate over the coming years following several future acquisitions such as the recent takeover of Ubiquisys by Cisco
- Eyeing the momentum behind small cell deployments, several DAS vendors (such as BTI Wireless) are now entering the small cell market
- While it is a preferred opinion among wireless carriers, aggregating outdoor small cell backhaul with macrocell infrastructure may prove to be a well challenging task. Consequently the demand for small cell backhauling has opened a new opportunity for investment, which will be a market worth nearly $6 Billion by 2020.
