Alcatel-Lucent is making a move to develop small cell connectivity throughout the United States and Europe. The company has pre-certified approximately 600,000 locations to implement their small cell expansion. In a year where Alcatel-Lucent has been forced to make job cuts and close business centers, this seems like a promising new move to put ALU back on the rise.
The difference between small cells and DAS are that small cells concentrate on smaller radiuses to provide more efficient service. This confines the parameters of the population to put less demand on wireless service. It is necessary that each site is able to connect to power and back to the carriers’ networks. Local government approval for installation must also be received. Before you know it, you might notice small cell sites in locations such as billboards, cable lines, advertising structures, existing fiber network installations, and even street furniture.
"Wireless operators have embraced small cells as an essential part of their ultra-broadband wireless network, but they must adapt to the new challenges associated with building, operating, and maintaining these new small cell networks," said Alcatel-Lucent vice president of small cells Michael Schabel.
Carriers will be matched up with businesses that own and operate billboards, real estate, and network services to create small-cell mesh networks. This will be especially beneficial for populated cities that have a large abundance of cellular users.
