Infonetics: Small Cell Market on Track to Increase 65% This YearCAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Telecom market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its latest Small Cell Equipment market size and forecast report, which tracks 3G microcells, picocells, and metrocells and LTE (News - Alert) mini eNodeBs and metrocells. ANALYST NOTES "As we anticipated, the great small cell ramp did not happen in 2013 as many in the industry had hoped. Testing activity remained solid, but actual deployments were modest. Small cell revenue was just $771 million last year, a sharp contrast to the $24 billion 2G/3G RAN market," reports Stéphane Téral, principal analyst for mobile infrastructure and carrier economics at Infonetics Research. Richard Webb, directing analyst for mobile backhaul and small cells at Infonetics and co-author of the report, adds: "Nevertheless, the need to enhance existing saturated macrocellular networks that are struggling to maintain a decent mobile broadband experience, as well as to add capacity to existing LTE networks, is bringing some fuel to our forecast and, consequently, we expect the small cell market to grow 65% by year's end, when it will reach $1.3 billion."
