The Small Cell Forum

•  To accelerate small cell adoption to change the shape of mobile networks and maximise the potential of the mobile internet

•  Not-for-profit, founded in 2007 •  Independent, inclusive, international

Aims •  Ecosystem development •  Market education •  Driving open standards

65 operators covering 3 billion global mobile subscribers – 44% of total

86 providers of small cell technology representing all parts of the ecosystem


Residential UK deployments

•  More than 300K residential femtocells in UK – 47% increase in 12 months

•  Penetration ranging from 0.18% to 8.5% of premises

•  Rural take-up 3 times higher than in urban areas

What’s next for Small Cell Forum?


Friday 13 May 9:15 – 1:30 South Gallery Meeting Rooms, Level 2. South Even Halls Discussion and debate of the Release Program Workshop: •  How carriers view the Small Cell Forum Release Program •  Achievements and implications of Releases Three and Four •  An overview of Release Five (Rural & Remote) •  Beyond Release Five – Discussion www.smallcellforum.org Your chance to discuss and debate the existing content of the Release Program and have your say on the future of the industry

Release Program Workshop


•  Cloud-RAN and small cells have often been presented as alternatives. We believe that virtualization techniques can be re-applied to small cell architectures.

•  Virtualization can be used to enhance co-operation within clusters of small cells. •  Small cell clusters may be required to interwork with a virtualized macro layer. •  • In dense HetNets, small cells will deliver •  maximum ROI if they are fully interworking with •  other platforms to create the broadest pool of capacity •  and most efficient use of shared resources. •  Our aim is to provide leadership in creating a •  unified view of the evolving role of virtualized •  architectures for dense HetNet.

Industry trends impacting small cell (and other) RAN solutions
