Small Cells and 5G Densification in Indian Cities

Why more sites

Mid-band and higher 5G frequencies have shorter range, and data demand keeps rising. Operators add small cells to boost capacity where macro sites are congested.

Deployment options

  • Outdoor small cells on poles and street furniture
  • High-power small cells to fill gaps between macros
  • Indoor small cells in buildings
  • Integration with fibre backhaul

The practical hurdles

Right-of-way approvals, power supply and fibre backhaul are usually harder than the radio equipment. Early coordination with municipal bodies saves months.

Neutral hosting

Shared poles and backhaul reduce clutter and cost, and are increasingly encouraged by policy.
