Mikrocellestasjoner

Mikrocellestasjoner are small cellular base stations designed to provide wireless coverage in localized areas. They are a key component of modern mobile network infrastructure, particularly in urban environments where user density is high and traditional macrocell coverage can be insufficient or inefficient. Mikrocellestasjoner typically have a smaller coverage radius, often ranging from a few meters to a few hundred meters, and are deployed closer to users to enhance signal strength and capacity.

These stations are often used to supplement existing macrocell networks, filling in coverage gaps or boosting capacity in high-traffic areas such as shopping malls, stadiums, and busy city streets. They can also be deployed in residential areas to improve indoor coverage. Mikrocellestasjoner are typically powered by mains electricity and are designed to be inconspicuous, often integrated into street furniture like lampposts or building facades.

The deployment of mikrocellestasjoner is part of a trend towards network densification, which aims to improve the user experience by providing faster data speeds and more reliable connections. They are particularly important for the rollout and operation of 4G and 5G networks, which require denser networks to achieve their performance goals. The technology allows mobile operators to manage network resources more effectively, directing capacity where it is most needed.
