RCR Wireless News spoke with Michael Thelander, founder and CEO of Signals Research Group, about the increasingly close relationship between small cells and LTE deployments. Signals Research recently released a report showing the growing need for small cells to bolster expected spectrum shortcomings in LTE deployments.

Implementations of Small Cell and DAS systems have many challenges; not the least of which is the selection and placement of the antenna elements. Since these systems deploy antennas close to the users, additional municipal and building owner restrictions may be enforced. The physical space provided for antenna installation is often limited and concealed when possible.
