 Small cell picks up for 5G
Mobile users expect app availability
everywhere, at any time, on all smart
devices. This demand drives mobile
network operators to start planning for
dense heterogeneous networks (HetNets). It
is predicted that new deployments of small
cells will increase by 50% in the 2018-2020
period, with a second sharp rise in
2023-2024 for 5G densification.

 Flexible, simple densification solutions
for residential to enterprise usage
Highly reliable indoor coverage will become
essential to ensure that new applications and
services are supported as they make our homes
and offices smarter.

Comba's femtocells and enterprise pico are low-power wireless access points that deliver improved
mobile network coverage and capacity in building areas < 1000m². They are the cost-efficient solutions
for fast rollout, and along with macrocells it creates a heterogeneous network.

Both the femto and enterprise pico are constructed with the significant features below

smart integrated MIMO antenna accommodate LTE frequency band

support CSFB/VOLTE compatible with 3GPP standard

Comba's femto helps individual or small office customers extend LTE coverage and capacity to
indoor environments in a secure, cost-effective manner.
