THE SMALL CELL ECOSYSTEM is formed of the elements that make up the access points, gateways and backhaul. Surrounding these basic building blocks are small cell focussed systems and operations such as design, planning, test, verification, systems management and optimisation and operation.
SMALL CELL ECOSYSTEM
The access points themselves come in different sizes and factors, and are built on a stack of systems on chip, platforms, and application software.

Mapping the Small Cells Network 2014 provides a visual representation of the elements contained within the small cells ecosystem, and lists the companies providing hardware, software and services within the different sectors of that ecosystem.
MAPPING THE SMALL CELLS NETWORK
Produced as part of TMN’s Small Cells Market Update 2014, Mapping the Small Cells Network is a unique guide to this rapidly changing market.
TMN’s Mapping the Small Cells Network, which updates 2013’s edition, is continued evidence of the growing depth and breadth of the small cell ecosystem. Although we are yet to see mass market deployments of small cells, the extensive rollout of small cells that started in Asia and is already entering in other regions has proven the technology works and delivers benefits, while there are clear signs in the industry that pieces are falling into place to support additional rollouts. Greater emphasis is being placed on systems planning for the design, deployment, management and operation of Heterogenous Networks that rely on small cell solutions for extending coverage and deepening capacity. Features such as SON that enable no-touch provisioning, configuration and optimisation, and help with the challenges around interference are now viewed as minimum requirements for market entry. We are also seeing multi-mode products come to market, supporting LTE, WiFi and 3G, as well as LTE TDD designs. As a key supplier of the software and platforms that support this market momentum, Radisys is the ideal partner for TMN as it maps and illustrates this evolving ecosystem. I wonder what new names and technologies we will see represented on the map next year. Todd Mersch, Senior Director, Software & Solutions, Radisys
