As NKEK explained, low-power base stations are low-power radio equipment designed to cover a limited area. It can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
“Small cells provide high-quality, secure indoor and outdoor cellular coverage, complementing the carrier network to improve coverage, add targeted capacity, and support new services and user interactions.” – noted in the commission.
