• Public access small cells are niche option until
2014, then prices and standards enable mass roll-
outs
• Shipments up from 125K to 3.37m by 2018
• Cloud-RAN - 30% of LTE carriers by 2017) while
metrocells are mainstream (65%)
• Antenna/radio integration important change for LTE
carriers
• New MIMO and active antenna progress critical to
support
• Standards like Hotspot 2.0 bring Wi-Fi and cellular
together, but debate remains on full hardware

Designed for easy deployment
Metrocell can be deployed with minimal disruption
• Compact measuring 9.5” X 9.5” X 2” and weighing 4.4 lbs.
• Supports multiple antenna options
• Wall and ceiling mountable - can be deployed almost anywhere
• Uses existing Internet access for backhaul can be either shared or dedicated
• Self-configures when multiple Metrocells are deployed which makes installation significantly less complex and costly than traditional distributed antenna systems
• Low profile, compact, scalable unobtrusive solution

Metrocell features
Solutions for indoor and outdoor coverage
Cover 7,000-15,000 sq. ft. depending upon building construction
Access open to all AT&T users in range of the device
Each Metrocell can:
• Connect up to 32 devices with each device supporting simultaneous voice and high speed data sessions
• Securely connect to the AT&T network via Ethernet and the Internet
• Seamlessly handoff calls to other Metrocells as well as support seamless two-way interworking with the greater AT&T network

Customer Satisfaction:“The Metrocell is working very well, we’ve seen significant improvements with data connection
and speed which was our biggest issue before installation. Voice also seems to be working well.”
“The individuals within the office have seen a stronger signal and are able to make and receive calls in areas that they couldn’t before.”
“The new system seems to be working – my primary benchmark is whether or not I experience dropped calls …. I am not. In the past I received a voice mail notice but the phone never rang to
give me an opportunity to answer it. Now all calls are coming through.”
