TD-LTE small cells a $5 billion opportunity, says SNS Research report

DUBAI, UAE. 20th January 2014: SNS Research's latest report indicates that TD-LTE small cell unit shipment revenue is expected to reach $5 Billion by 2020.

While lower 700-900 MHz FDD frequency bands with 3+ kilometer coverage range are best suited to deploying LTE macrocell networks for broad rural and nationwide coverage, the capacity offered by the 3.5/3.6 GHz TD-LTE spectrum is best suited for deployments in urban hot zones. SNS Research thus expects a number of LTE FDD operators to consider TD-LTE small cell deployments to enhance their network capacity.

SNS Research expects there TD-LTE small cell unit shipments to grow at a CAGR of nearly 90% between 2014 and 2020. By the end of 2020, TD-LTE small cell unit shipments will account for nearly $5 Billion in annual revenue.
