Smart Wireless Backhaul of Small Cell Networks

The deployment of small cell networks in urban areas to meet the growing need for increased mobile broadband capacity is a hot topic within the telecoms industry.

Market research firm Infonetics in its March 2012 Small Cell Equipment report forecasts that the global small cell market will grow rapidly, with about 3 million small cells shipping and the market worth about $2.1 billion in 2016. However, industry observers agree that small cell networks are a huge OPEX and CAPEX challenge for operators and will only be viable if they are able to self-organise.  

Plasma Antennas has developed a range of smart selectable multi-beam antennas that can be automatically aligned, enabling wireless backhaul networks to self-organise whenever new cells are deployed, traffic patterns alter and operating conditions change.  Follow the link to find out how smart selectable multi-beam antennas can dramatically reduce installation and maintenance costs of small cell wireless backhaul networks.
