WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU
AND THE FCC’S TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE SMALL CELL
AND SPECTRUM TASK FORCE ANNOUNCE 
FORUM ON INDOOR DEPLOYMENTS OF SMALL CELL SITES
WT Docket No. 11-161
The FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, in conjunction with the FCC’s Technical 
Advisory Committee Small Cell working group and Spectrum Task Force, is organizing a forum focusing 
on indoor deployments of small cell sites on Friday, October 28, 2011, at the Commission’s Headquarters 
in Washington, DC.  The event will begin at 10:45AM and end at 3:00PM.
Recent developments in technology offer an increasingly wide array of products to provide 
wireless coverage and capacity in limited or confined areas.  Together, they offer potentially useful 
solutions to addressing the exploding demand for spectrum that is being driven by the exponential growth 
in wireless data services.
The forum will provide an overview of small cell technologies currently available or soon to 
come on line, including software defined radios and enhanced Wi-Fi in both licensed and unlicensed 
spectrum.  In addition, panelists will explore the business opportunities and challenges involved in 
expanding wireless data coverage.  Finally, the forum will assess the potential economic impact of small 
cell deployments, particularly with respect to job creation, and explore possible policy approaches.
