Pico-Cell Sites

The use of pico-cell sites by wireless operators is driven by the desire to provide
very targeted coverage and capacity to a given area or application. The
pico-cell has a very small service area where several pico-cells in concept
can cover the same area as a micro-cell.
The pico-cell is a spot coverage and low-capacity site, as compared to a
macro-cell site. Pico-cell sites typically have a single omni antenna, as do
micro-cells. However, the power and thus the coverage of the pico-cell is less
than a micro-cell.
An example of a possible pico-cell is shown.
