A Strand of Hope: How strand-mounted small cells can address the demand for 4G and 5G mobile data
A strand is a grounded, uninsulated bundle of galvanized high tensile strength steel wires, placed under tension, that runs between poles. Mounting outdoor small cells on a cable and/or telco strand is an under-utilized proposition with many benefits for mobile operators.
This white paper, which was sponsored by Alpha, discusses the need for outdoor small cells in the mobile industry, the challenges associated with the deployment of pole-based small cells, mobile operator's relationships with Cable MSOs and LECs, and the benefits of leveraging strand-mounted small cells.
