Small Cell Operations Market Study 2016: All Aspects of Operations Must Align for Effective Small Cell Management -- Research and Markets

DUBLIN, April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Small Cell Operations: Tiny Footprint, Colossal Assurance Effort" report to their offering.

This report will review the state of the small cell market, assess what technologies are available, and identify those solutions that are still emerging. The report will also highlight some of the challenges to incorporating small cells into the wider network; then, examine the latest approaches to ensuring the most efficient and effective deployment and operational support for small cell networks. 

The small cell market has been slow to bloom; however, it was always a matter of when, not if. It is believed that the time has come for market acceleration, as cloud and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) begin to play a role. Software tools for planning, automation, and assurance that specifically target small-cell deployment will also move the market along.
