Cellular Repeater Market Analysis

In 2013, FCC (Federal Communications Commission) approved new rules for cellular repeaters to introduce a compromise solution between technology manufacturers and wireless operators. Under these new rules FCC defined 2 types of cellular repeaters – Wide-band (or broadband) & Carrier specific (or provider specific) cellular repeaters.

Market Dynamics

Major factors expected to drive the growth in adoption of cellular repeaters are – growth in cellular market, efforts from cellular operators to eliminate problems such as dropped calls, poor voice quality, stuck text messages, and slow internet speeds. Additionally, there is an increased adoption of cellular repeaters among people living in high-rises, as the buildings are closely packed and most residents do not get proper mobile network.

Although, cellular repeaters facilitate improved coverage for operators, these devices are still not deployed on a broad scale. This can be attributed to the factors such as high device costs, installation costs and health threats due to harmful radiations.

However, continuous improvements in technology regarding enabling the installation process to be executed by the cellular repeater itself, and reduced cable requirement such as power, etc. to be made by the user - the installation of an external antenna would require additional installation - these cellular repeaters are now becoming more of a reality.
