iGR Announces Small Cell Architectures Research and Advisory Service
New iGR Advisory Service Analyzes the Overall and Ongoing Development of the Small Cell Market Including Femto-, Pico-, WiFi, DAS, SON, Backhaul
(firmenpresse) - AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 10/26/11 -- Explosion of data consumption, combined with subscriber growth and mobility needs, is putting today's networks under tremendous pressure. iGR's research shows that the demand for mobile data bandwidth doubled from 2010 to 2011, driven by consumers' increased used of smartphones, tablets and other mobile data devices.
iGR believes that the mobile data bandwidth demand cannot be met simply by increasing the air link speed in the macro networks. Instead, the wireless and mobile industry needs provide mobile capacity where it is needed, as it is needed on any device the consumer chooses. Today's users expect to be able to use their advanced devices wherever they are with unimpeded access to their apps, content and services.
To meet these increasing demands for improved mobile bandwidth, signaling and coverage, mobile networks are developing around small cell technologies and offload solutions -- DAS, femtocells, pico cells, WiFI. This evolution presents new challenges to network architects and vendors alike, from placing antennas and cells in suitable locations to providing sufficient backhaul to those cells. Additionally, interference and frequency management issues must be considered with small cell deployment and intelligent network design.
"iGR has been tracking the mobile data bandwidth consumed by consumers and business users around the world. Rather than slowing, iGR's analysis shows that the demand for mobile data is accelerating. In the next four years, iGR forecasts that the global demand for mobile data will grow by nearly ten times," said Iain Gillott, president and founder of iGR, a market strategy consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile communications industry. "Operators and solution providers need to understand the realities of bandwidth consumption -- how it is being consumed, who is consuming the most and why, where it is being consumed and how the network reacts to individual instances. Further, with so many different solutions coming to market, network operators need to understand the challenges required in deploying an intelligent, multi-layer network that is self-optimizing and efficient focused on delivering capacity to the exact location it is required."
