"Based on recent conversations with leading wireless operators, we have slightly raised our picocell forecast," said Stefan Pongratz, Analyst at Dell'Oro Group. "In the past year, we have seen that operators have shifted from thinking and talking about small cells, to conducting actual trials on picocells. More operators are now focused on investigating and trialing best solutions and approaches to complement their macro networks so they could increase capacity and performance in high-utilization areas. While we believe the macro LTE network will carry the majority of the traffic through 2015, we believe vendors will start recognizing significant pico eNode B revenues in the outer years of the forecast period," added Pongratz.
The report also shows that WCDMA revenues are expected to drive the industry in the forecast period and represent more than 70% of all the revenues in 2015. The overall mobile infrastructure market is expected to grow at a 4% CAGR between 2010 and 2015.
