A new wave of operators are deploying neutral host in-building or outdoor wireless networks leveraging current LTE and next-generation 5G technologies, with new business models to augment the networks deployed by mobile operators. When venue owners deploy a common DAS, shared small cells or cloud RAN infrastructure that can support all mobile operators, the economics benefit all of the tenants. Neutral host providers can take advantage of the efficiency and cost savings of shared infrastructure to offer wholesale wireless services for MNOs and tenants in a venue or wide-area environment. We help clients understand the market conditions and business models that enable neutral host deployments, along with the technology and spectrum required to support the coverage and capacity needs.
