公共和私人 5G 網路覆蓋範圍和容量的增強增加了未來成長的潛力

宏小區是大多數 CSP 網路的骨幹。由於其功率輸出更高，涵蓋範圍積更大，可提供5G網路的大部分覆蓋範圍和容量。大多數宏蜂窩覆蓋室外，但之前也覆蓋室內。然而，基於宏小區的無線覆蓋可能會遇到由山丘、森林和天氣等自然和人為現象引起的覆蓋問題。隨著 5G 使用頻率的增加，這些問題在室外和室內都變得更加明顯。即使體育場被宏蜂窩覆蓋，當數千或數萬人參加活動或比賽時，它可能不具備必要的容量。此外，室外通訊區域可能被建築物遮擋，室內通訊區域可能不足。這就是小蜂窩發揮作用的地方。

小型蜂窩通常以較低的功率運行，並且可以比宏蜂窩覆蓋更小的區域。小型基地台體積較小，購買和安裝成本較低，且功率輸出較低，這意味著安裝和操作方面的安全問題（和法規）較少。本研究對全球小型蜂窩市場進行了分析。我們描述了小基站在確保連接方面發揮關鍵作用的場景，並提供了小型基地台支出的估計預測。

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.
