Public Access Small Cells: Off to a Slow Start

danny_be 2/13/2014 | 10:08:10 AM

Blazing Fast 15-Minute Installation of Small Cell Backhaul by Non-Telco Installers Backhaul and its installation are biggest impediment to public-access small cell deployments (Accroding to the current poll of light reading)

Siklu is now addressing it in order to enable small cell market to happened:

Gigabit capacity of backhaul with lowest footprint and 15-Minute Installation time.

Small Cell : Macro Cell ::: LAN : WAN In my analogy, it can be seen that the systems have different capabilities and different applications, and are usually complementary rather than competing.

To take it a step further, public access small cells are like a public wifi hotspot created as an enhancement to someone's LAN. If the technology is adopted by enough people/companies/cities, it can bring access to more people. If it's restricted by shortsighted and profit-hungry providers, it will end up one more perk for the privileged few and I'll want no part of it.

Re: Different drivers? There's also the fact that enterprise small cells are fairly easy to deploy, relative to the more public access metroell type of application, which requires backhaul, power, deployment, permits, etc.

Re: Different drivers? Yeah, that's why there's actual deployments happening now. :-)

Re: Different drivers? Enterprise small cells certainly will get more attention this year. Simply because there are and likely will be more live deplyments to talk about

Re: Different drivers? Excellent use of analogy here. Just to stretch it a bit further -- what you're saying is that public access small cells are the equivalent of a poorly maintained public golf course that doubles as a feeding ground for thousands of Canada geese.
