DAS

Small

Can
cover
mul,ple
operators,

and
technologies

(GSM,

Developed
as

Deployed

VS.

Some
similari,es,

different
needs.

Both
are
stronger

together
as
a
combined/integrated
solu:on.

Key
Challenges

VS

Challenges
for
both
DAS
and
small
cell
deployments
are
similar:

Power
/
Real
Estate
/
Backhaul

-‐  Finding
an
outdoor
site
for
small
cell
deployments
can
be
expensive

-‐  Lack
of
access
to
power

-‐  Backhaul
solu,ons
are
expensive
and
ineﬃcient

-‐  Management
of
a
‘converged’
network
of
macro
cells
and
small
cells
is

cumbersome

-‐  Today’s
integrated
networks
are
complex
to
install

-‐  Outdoor
deployments
complex
(can’t
just
hang
a
system
on
a
u,lity
pole)

-‐  Biggest
building
boom
for
telecom
in
years
–
lack
of
access
to

knowledgeable,
experienced
employees
and
experts

Everything
in
wireless
takes
longer!

Considera,ons:
Discerning
the
Right
Solu,on

VS

-‐  Macro
cell
network
alterna:ve
solu:ons/considera:ons

-‐  Adding
spectrum
or
carriers

-‐  Upgrading
to
a
higher
modula,on
scheme

-‐  Employ
sectoriza,on

-‐  Small
Cells

-‐  Experience
-‐
Less
solu,ons
deployed
means
less
experience
in
the

market

-‐  Volume
–
How
many
devices
are
being
deployed
in
the
ﬁeld
and
how

will
it
eﬀect
the
network

-‐  Control
of
the
network
–
retaining
control
of
the
network
is
a
key

considera,on
to
ensuring
customer
care

-‐  DAS

-‐  What
is
it
good
for?

An
unclear
customer
base
such
as
those
in

entertainment
venues,
hospitals,
arenas,
higher
educa,on

campuses,
etc.

It’s
not
a
DAS
vs.
Small
Cell
World

VS

Not
always
either/or
it
could
be
both/and….

‘THE
ERA
OF
CONVERGENCE’

-‐  Small
cells
are
just
one
part
of
the
larger
array
of
op,ons

-‐  Macro
cell
sharing
solu,ons
could
spawn
interest
in
small
cell
sharing

models

-‐  Wireless
Technology
is
as
essen,al
as
plumbing,
hea,ng
and
ligh,ng

-‐  DAS
is
considered
the
4th
u,lity

-‐  Converged
architecture
brings
licenses
and
unlicensed
networks
together

enabling
great
coverage
and
capacity

-‐  “I
could
be
used
to
complement.

I
don’t
see
small
cells
replacing
DAS”

according
to
Aditya
Kaul,
Analyst
at
ABI
Research

Macro
cell,
small
cell
and
DAS
all
work
together
to
provide

beaer
capacity
and
coverage.

The
Future
is
Bright

VS

-‐  Small
cell
deployments
will
grow
faster
(because
not
as
many
have
been

deployed
so
far)

-‐  Small
cell
with
distributed
macro
cell
solu,ons
are
changing
the
way
new

LTE
RAN
will
be
designed

-‐  Small
cells
are
just
one
part
of
the
larger
array
of
op,ons

New
Technologies
and
new
business
models
are
constantly
changing!

-‐  Mul,-‐Standard
Metrocells
(MSMs)
–
AT&T’s
solu,on
deploys
small
cells

in
a
single
unit
that
combines
LTE,
HSPA
and
WiFi

-‐  Innova,ve
Technologies
like
Small
Cell
RAN
(Ubiquisys/Cisco)

-‐  Alcatel-‐Lucent’s
Lightradio
Live

-‐  Self-‐Organizing
Network
(SON)
technology

-‐  Femtocell
as
a
solu,on
(FaaS).

ABI
Research
predicts
that
10%
of

regional
carriers
in
the
US
will
us
FaaS
providers
for:

-‐  Wholesale
delivery
of
femtocell
services

AND
MUCH
MORE!

The
Problem

-‐
Wireless
vs.
Wireline

•  51.7
percent
of
U.S.
homes
don’t
have
or
didn’t
use
their
landlines
in
the

ﬁrst
half
of
2012.

And
this
is
expected
to
con,nue
to
increase.

The
Problem
–
Mobile
Data
Usage

•  According
to
Heavy
Reading
(trade
publica,on)
50%
of
all
mobile
data

usage
is
at
home
in
2011;
by
2016
projected
to
be
65%.

•  According
to
Pew
Research,
66%
of
18-‐29
year
olds
have
Smartphones,

45%
of
total
adults
have
Smartphones.

•  Smartphone
and
Tablet
users
require
between
50
to
120
,mes
capacity
of

standard
cellphones.

•  According
to
Ericsson
and
GigaOm,
data
now
accounts
for
85%
of
all

cellular
traﬃc.

Summary:
Mobile
data
usage
will
grow
dramaHcally
and
indoor-‐
at
home
wireless
service
is,
or
will
become
very
important.

The
Problem
–
Green
Buildings

•  Energy
efficient
windows
(“Low
E
Glass”)
effec,vely

block
a
significant
amount
of
wireless
(RF)
signals

from
entering/leaving
buildings
resul,ng
in
poor

coverage.

The
Solu,on
-‐
DAS

•  Advantages
of
DAS
for
Residen,al
Hi-‐Rise

Applica,ons

–  Single
antenna
system
supports
mul,ple
carriers
and

technologies
(minimal
visual
impact)

–  Install
once,
future
changes
all
in
Head
End
(invisible
to

residents)

–  Poten,al
synergy
with
current/future
Public
Safety

requirements

–  Centralize
ac,ve
elements
(no
need
to
access
residents

private
space
aPer
iniHal
installaHon)

The
Solu,on
-‐
DAS

•  Challenges
of
DAS
for
Residen,al
Hi-‐Rise

Applica,ons

–  Keeping
antennas
“hidden”

–  Cost,
including
DAS
and
BTS/Repeater
equipment

•  ROI
model
for
WSP
is
weak

•  Strategic
value?

–  Space
alloca,on
(IDF
closets
and
Head

–
and

associated
“cost”

The
Solu,on
–
Small
Cells

•  Advantages
of
Small
Cells
for
Residen,al
Hi-‐Rise

Applica,ons

–  Low
cost
per
unit
(Few
thousand
$$)

–  Ease
of
installa,on

–  No
need
for
a
Head
End
Room
(saving
on
real

The
Solu,on
–
Small
Cells

•  Challenges
of
Small
Cells
for
Residen,al
Hi-‐Rise

Applica,ons

–  Keeping
the
quan,ty
required
to
a
minimum

•  One
Small
Cell
=
one
WSP

•  One
Small
Cell
=
one
technology
(currently)

•  Limited
power
=
limited
coverage
area

•  Limited
capacity

–  Backhaul
–
requires
Ethernet
connec,vity
from
each
Small

Cell
back
to
the
WSP
switching
network

–  Maintenance,
especially
if
Small
Cells
are
installed
in

apartments

The
Solu,on
-‐
WiFi

•  Advantages
of
WiFi
for
Residen,al
Hi-‐Rise

Applica,ons

–  Low
Cost
(especially
for
private
wireless
routers)

–  High
speed
and
large
capacity
available

(100
Mbps
per

user),
with
higher
speeds
imminent
(802.11ac)

–  One
technology
-‐
Supports
all

Smartphones,
tablets,

xBox,
AppleTV,
etc.

The
Solu,on
–
Small
Cells

•  Challenges
of
WiFi
for
Residen,al
Hi-‐Rise

Applica,ons

–  Interference/Reliability

–  Lack
of

•  May

soon
–
Hotspot

Conclusions

•  DAS
vs
Small
Cells*

–  DAS
for
larger
buildings
(500,000

or
larger)

–  Small

for
smaller

Spectrum
Proper,es

•  Not

–  Lower

bands
(450
-‐
900
MHz)

•  Travels
long
distance

•  Good

penetra,on

–  Higher
frequencies
(1700
–
2600
MHz)

•  Poor
distance
coverage

•  Poor
building
and
foliage
penetra,on

–  2600
MHz
typically
requires
9x
number
of
antennas
to
provide
the
same
coverage
as

•  Rural
areas
(key
factor

–  Lower

band
beder

•  Urban
areas
(key
factor
is

–  Will
require

–  LTE

Spectrum
Usage
in

•  LTE-‐Advanced
(Hetnets)

–  Geo-‐locate
hotspots

sector
and
add
a
small
cell
to
improve

–  If
using

requires
inter-‐cell

(complex)

–  Prefer
to
use

Summary
and
Conclusions

•  Spectrum
is
a
finite
and
expensive
resource

–  The
Radio
Access
Network
(RAN)
is
the
most
cri,cal
piece
of
the
mobile

network

•  Air
environment
is
an
uncontrolled
medium
unlike
fiber
or
copper

•  Subject
to
environmental
condi,ons

•  Anyone
can
generate
a
source
of
interference

•  1°variance
in
antenna
azimuth
or
,lt
can
result
in
10
dB
signal
difference
(dropped
calls
or

Mb/s
reduc,on
in
data
throughput)

•  Op,miza,on
of
in-‐building
RAN
must
be
done
during
deployment

–  Unable
to
get
access
to
the
building
later
for
op,miza,on

•  Next
Genera,on
Mobile
Technology
will
be
in-‐building
centric

Mobile
networks
will
become
so

that
future

will
