Ubiquitous, high speed mobile broadband is proven to have a significant impact on a country’s economic competitiveness and social prosperity. For instance, a 10 percent expansion in mobile penetration increases productivity by 4.2 percentage points, according to one report. As traffic levels rise, and as more industries and cities become always-connected, the mobile networks will have to be designed in a new way. Notably, they will involve very large numbers of small cell base stations, which can deliver massive broadband capacity in urban areas and reach every corner of the country too.
