Small cell vendors should target new deployer types and growth opportunities in Open RAN and 5G
"Opportunities for mid-term revenue growth in the small cell market will be driven by Open RAN/vRAN, new deployer types and advanced enterprise use-cases."

To capitalise on these trends, vendors should focus on developing differentiated and diverse small cell solutions, and demonstrate their support for new deployer types and advanced enterprise use cases.
