In-Building Wireless Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)


Posted May 18, 2021 by statzyreports

The in-building wireless market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13% over the forecast period from 2021 to 2026.

 
 In-building wireless (IBW) solutions off-load, the data needs emerging from high-rise buildings, vast campuses, crowded stadiums, and hotel properties, to ensure continued connectivity. The expectation from public is that that 5G will provide a faster, more advanced network connection and this has led to significant pressure on carriers to deliver a superior end-user experience. Providing 5G capabilities rises the need for increased bandwidth availability coupled with devices located closer to transmitters for short RF band lengths. By providing the buildings with wireless transmitters, carriers’ customers can experience the benefits of 5G.

- Building owners have a significant interest in ensuring quality indoor wireless coverage for their tenants and those who visit their buildings. Reliable indoor coverage can help attract residential and business tenants to a facility at more attractive rents as well as provide a platform for building owners to automate operational processes. There is also a safety component attached to connectivity. An increasingly higher number of property owners are looking to ensure reliable communications in case of an emergency via public safety systems. This is another major factor aiding in the growth of IBW. In a commercial space, the majority of cell phone calls are initiated inside a building, so expecting reliable cell phone service inside retail space is a growing demand.

- DAS is occupying a significant market share, and many sports venues, such as Notre Dame Stadium, are strategically placing various antennas throughout their facilities to ensure robust and reliable cell service. This network of antennas is known as a DAS. When DAS is adequately designed and installed, it enables a universal satisfactory user experience with no dead zones or spotty areas. DAS is also being used in hospitals due to the need for mission-critical wireless communications infrastructure. To ensure consistent mobile service within facilities, hospitals have deployed DAS to bring outdoor cellular signals indoors. Digital DAS also gives hospitals more control overcapacity across the network. For instance, to deliver more bandwidth to a remote surgery suite, network managers can use software to reassign bandwidth from other, less-demanding parts of the network.

- In October 2019, Advanced RF Technologies (ADRF) launched a suite of 5G wireless products, including millimeter-wave repeaters, a digital distributed antenna system, and millimeter-wave support for its ADXV Series DAS. These solutions will enable carriers, enterprises, and building owners to provide 5G in-building wireless connectivity required to support Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive IoT (mMTC), UltraReliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC). In November 2019, Cincinnati Bell announced a fiber-based DAS solution that delivers in-building cellular coverage for organizations with large, multi-floor buildings and outdoor areas that lack reliable cell service. The solution supports multiple carriers and provides a 5G-ready infrastructure that is scalable to meet growing usage needs while ensuring lower cost of ownership and the ability to use most available frequencies.

- The spread of COVID-19 will have a prolonged effect on critical business processes because the majority of the workforce in industries, such as IT, are doing work from home (WFH) to follow social distancing norms. For instance, Microsoft has announced WFH for all its employees until October 2020. TCS has also recently announced that 75% of its 4.48 lakh employees globally would work from home by 2025. This is causing the majority of mobile traffic to originate from residential buildings, which would make inbuilding wireless a necessity for business operations. North Carolina-based VAST Signal Booster Solutions recently completed installing a Cel-Fi QUATRA Active DAS Hybrid solution for a tenant who is remodeling their office space in a multi-tenant building in Maryland while their employees are working from home.

Key Market Trends

Small Cell is Expected to Hold the Major Share

- Small cell significantly improves wireless connections both inside and outside of the working environment with minimal invasion. It takes up a small space, thereby proving to be a perfect solution for improving network capacity and coverage. When deployed in LTE advanced and 5G deployments, small cells will play an important role in efficiently delivering low latency applications and high-speed mobile broadband. Multiple operators are evaluating their options, and small cell deployment figures are considered a high priority, with the majority of the US operators considering them to be an integral part of their 4G services.

- With a small footprint of hardware, they can be easily installed on to structures such as utility poles, street lights, signs, or to the sides of the buildings. For instance, In January 2019, TPG, in partnership with China's Huawei, has placed the small cell boxes on power poles across the suburb of Ryde in Sydney's north-west. According to the Small Cell Forum, the number of small cells in residential areas is expected to reach 1,850 thousand in 2025, from 1,250 thousand in 2017. The adoption will be more in enterprises, where the number of small cells is expected to reach 5,500 thousand in 2025, from 1,280 thousand in 2017.

- The installed base of small cells is expected to reach 70.2 million in 2025. Densification initially led by Asia-Pacific and North America, with Europe lagging as it continues to work on to address commercial, technical and regulatory barriers. Massive annual growth of 36% in the rate of new non-residential deployments of small cells, led by urban and enterprise small cells, between 2015 and 2025. 5G cell deployments are overtaking 4G by 2024. The total installed base of 5G or small multimode cells in 2025 is predicted to be 13.1 m, over one-third of the total in use.

- Small cells can connect buildings and many outdoor locations that provide the last mile extension often needed for the near line-of-sight solutions since the cells are placed in proximity to the user, system efficiency is much higher, and small cells are discrete and require limited infrastructure as well as space to install. One of the main challenges that hold small cell adoption back is that it is only a single carrier. Additionally, the cost of installing and certifying is high due to the civil works needed to provide power and data back-haul connections to the small cell installation.
