Rapid growth in deployments, due to advantages of small cells
Key benefits include:
• Improved coverage
• Greater capacity
• Spectrum efficiency
• New applications
• These benefits apply equally in the home (femtocells), office (enterprise) or outside environments (metro, rural)
• Devices remain under control of licensed network operators and operate within their own spectrum
