Many providers of infrastructure, including major vendors such as Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson, as well as smaller suppliers and newer, to introduce a small base station for use inside buildings and in dense outdoor space with mobile users. This will complement the traditional macro cells commonly found on cell towers and roofs, which may include entire neighborhoods.
 
Although used broadcast radio is smaller, as previously picocells for in-house support, these devices are relatively expensive, specialized equipment, planned and installed by transportation engineers , often using DAS (distributed antenna system) in place. The new generation of base stations, including femtocells have been deployed in many families, plans to less expensive and closer to the consumer electronics mass production. Wi-Fi is also ready to play bigger role in mobile networks, both in small-cell hybrid networks, and through the new standard to make the access point like the International Action cells.
 
Like other new technologies, according to analysts and some in the industry, then returned to the Internet and mobile phones, small network elements and tools to make better use of which has can disrupt the network equipment business and market mobile services. More competition means more choices and lower prices for service providers, and ultimately to consumers. But there is also the challenge for the new provider.
 
Mobile Mini Forum, an industry group promoting femtocell and other network equipment, visualize a small-cell industry that can look like than the Ethernet LAN infrastructure business travel the present. Forum has published the API defines the interface compatibility between the components of small base stations.
 
Macro base stations today tend to be specialized design than standard hardware is made of common parts, Simon Saunders, chairman of the Forum said mobile small. Similarly, providers of mobile devices often use a standard interpretation of the signals between the components of a network, he said. Model that needs to change because the smaller cells should be done with larger numbers, with lower costs
 
Even small cells built on the interoperability standards, the entry of the traditional macro cells from large vendors can turn compatibility with older equipment, Mr. Gabriel Brown, an analyst at Heavy Reading said.
 
The potential new customers through the use of Wi-Fi is an integral part of mobile networks. Both large and small vendors, including Cisco Systems, Ruckus Wireless and ip.access, introducing products designed to use the specification of Hotspot 2.0. Hotspot 2.0 is an open standard for Wi-Fi hotspots available without having to enter a user name and password, and help users access everywhere.
