Research and Markets: Global Wi-Fi-Enabled Small Cell Market 2014-2018 with Airvana, Cisco, Ericsson, Ruckus Wireless & Samsung DominatingDUBLIN --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6jqsqs/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Wi-Fi-Enabled Small Cell Market 2014-2018 with Airvana, Cisco, Ericsson, Ruckus Wireless & Samsung Dominating" report to their offering. Global Wi-Fi-Enabled Small Cell market to grow at a CAGR of 185% over the period 2013-2018. The growth of the Global Wi-Fi-enabled Small Cell market is driven by many factors, one of which is the continuous demand for better network coverage. To sustain in a competitive business environment, telecom operators are striving to provide better network accessibility to mobile subscribers. In this regard, small cells and Wi-Fi solutions enable operators to efficiently provide coverage to the high-end consumers without investing exorbitantly in the network. The key purpose of all non-macrocell solutions in a telecom network is to address the inexorable demand for coverage and capacity. Such solutions include small cells, Wi-Fi, DAS, and the emerging CRAN. While the first three solutions have been in the market for a while, the CRAN is a relatively new architecture which, like DAS, concentrates the processing of the RAN of a mobie network in one or more centralized network nodes. These different components are adding to the heterogeneity of the telecom networks around the world. Nowadays, Wi-Fi and small cells are among the most popular solutions for data offloading. As technology continues to evolve, the demand for anytime, anywhere communication is expected to increase steadily. In particular, smartphones are among the most widely used data supported devices at present. In fact, it is projected that by 2016, smartphones will account for more than 67 percent of mobile data traffic. As technologies are evolving, so are the networks that support them. Additionally, the coverage of the macrocell can be improved with the inclusion of a distributed antenna system and CRAN. During the forecast period, there will be huge capital flow for the adoption of small cells, Wi-Fi, DAS, and CRAN infrastructures. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the interference among small cells, macrocells, and Wi-Fi. The biggest advantage of Wi-Fi networks is that they work in an unlicensed spectrum, thus helping operators reduce their costs. On the other hand, as the unlicensed spectrum is available to all operators and users, both macrocell and small cell networks share the same frequency bands for signal transmission. This results in interference and unwanted noise in the telecom network, which leads to a decline in quality of service and hence user experience. Therefore, telecom operators refrain from adopting Wi-Fi-enabled small cell networks. The key vendors dominating this market space are:
