• By 2020, 40% of operators
expect to deploy between 100
and 350 small cells per square
kilometer in the areas they
densify
• In the first 2-3 years of
deploying 5G New Radio, 58%
expect to focus primarily on
small cells:
• 37% to densify the network
for enhanced mobile
broadband
• 21% to enable new use
cases.
SCF194: New operator survey
Hyperdense

Most common targeted areas for
densification of 100 cells or more per square
kilometer:
• transport hubs (56% said this was a
top three priority for dense small
cells);
• business parks and campuses (50%);
• urban downtown areas (46%);
• corporate offices (44%).
SCF194: New operator survey

19% operators want to start
at-scale deployment within
one year. But this requires:
• Lower total cost of ownership
• Multivendor interoperability
• Ease of deployment
• Good macro network
interworking
• New sources of affordable fiber
for backhaul and fronthaul
• Easier access to sites
Top requirements to speed densification

11. § Data should be abundant and affordable – ‘Hyperdense is a must’
§ Costs must be reduced to be comparable to the WiFi model – opex much
more significant than capex
§ Telco must accelerate to the speed and agility of web-scale IT – adopting
a Dev-Ops mindset
§ Mobile network assets need to be leveraged to deliver peerless customer
experiences
§ Automation must be unified end-to-end to support business goals and
customer experience
§ A true multi-RAN HetNet comprising 3GPP & Non-3GPP, licensed &
unlicensed and xHaul, requires a unified platform that is fully
harmonized
§ Smooth migration from 4G to 5G requires flexible architecture and
virtualization
