公共和私人 5G 网路覆盖范围和容量的增强增加了未来成长的潜力

宏小区是大多数 CSP 网路的骨干。由于其功率输出更高，覆盖面积更大，可提供5G网路的大部分覆盖范围和容量。大多数宏蜂窝覆盖室外，但之前也覆盖室内。然而，基于宏小区的无线覆盖可能会遇到由山丘、森林和天气等自然和人为现象引起的覆盖问题。随着 5G 使用频率的增加，这些问题在室外和室内都变得更加明显。即使体育场被宏蜂窝覆盖，当数千或数万人参加活动或比赛时，它可能不具备必要的容量。此外，室外通讯区域可能被建筑物遮挡，室内通讯区域可能不足。这就是小蜂窝发挥作用的地方。

小型蜂窝通常以较低的功率运行，并且可以比宏蜂窝覆盖更小的区域。小型基地台体积较小，购买和安装成本较低，且功率输出较低，这意味着安装和操作方面的安全问题（和法规）较少。本研究对全球小型蜂窝市场进行了分析。我们描述了小基站在确保连接方面发挥关键作用的场景，并提供了小型基地台支出的估计预测。

Macro cells are the workhorse of most CSP networks. With higher output power, they cover larger areas and provide most of the coverage and capacity of the 5G network. Most macro cells provide outdoor coverage, but in the past they provided indoor coverage as well. However, wireless coverage based on macro cells can have coverage issues caused by either natural phenomena such as hills, forests, and weather or human-made creations. The higher frequencies used in 5G make these issues more pronounced, both outside and inside. Capacity issues can also arise: a stadium may be covered by a macro cell but may not have the capacity needed when thousands upon thousands of people are attending an event or a game. A building may block outdoor coverage and have less-than-adequate indoor coverage. This is where small cells come into play.

In general, small cells operate at lower output power and therefore cover smaller areas than macro cells. Small cells are physically smaller, less expensive to buy and install, and-because of the lower output power-have fewer safety issues (and regulations) around their installation and operation. This Frost & Sullivan study presents an analysis of the global small cells market. It describes the scenarios in which small cells play an important role in ensuring connectivity, and presents estimated forecasts on small cell spending.
