Release Two: Enterprise A Peek Inside
• 39%-61% of offices have noticeably poor in-building coverage1
• Over 80% of total mobile data traffic is indoors2
• Serving in-building traffic from outdoors places a heavy load on operator spectrum, reducing potential efficiency3
• 87% of businesses would switch provider to guarantee coverage4
1YouGov Research, Feb 2013, figures for UK and US respectively2 Paolini, M. “Mobile data moves indoors”, September 2011 3 Signals Research Group: “Valuable Licensed Spectrum is a Largely Under-Utilized Asset Indoors”, Feb 20134 Alcatel-Lucent study Feb 2013
Release Two: Key findings summary
• Release Two business case finds compelling commercial argument for small cells in almost every enterprise context.
• In fact in almost all the enterprise deployments modeled, the payback period for both the operator and the enterprise was found to be less than a year.
Release Two: Key Findings Summary
For Enterprises:
•Essential to provide coverage that addresses their business needs
High Quality Voice is Essential
•Opportunity for value-added services
For Operators:
• Can deploy small cells quickly and easily at relatively low cost
• Establish strategic relationship by providing services in demand
• Huge opportunity for those who move quickly to gain market share
For Small Cell Vendors:
• Products must provide high quality voice
• Opportunity to develop for value-added data services
