As already mentioned, NSR is forecasting that by 2029 there will be 800,000 satellite backhaul sites in operation. This is due to mobile users consuming ever greater amounts of bandwidth, usually in the form of video, forcing MNOs to install more base stations to accommodate this. Small cells are now widely deployed and this trend will increase with 5G, A typical 5G network will be a mixture of small cells for millimeter wave coverage and larger base stations for wide area coverage.
