For the last three decades, the demand for mobile data has grown exponentially. In fact, an IDC study reports that worldwide mobile data traffic has grown at a remarkable compound annual growth rate of 50% since 2010, driving tremendous capacity expansions and the need for more network infrastructure, especially as 5G networks continue to rollout. As a result, industry trade group CTIA forecasts that by 2026, more than 800,000 small cells will be deployed in the U.S., up from around 86,000 in 2018.
