Mobile apps for small cells are here — now!
The Small Cell Forum has published an industry-wide agreed set of API specifications that enable advanced mobile applications based on small cell technology.
The first applications based on these specifications have already been built by the Forum’s vendor members. Demonstrations of small cell apps are now showing operators and developers the power and potential of this unique proposition.

Our API specifications are now available to the small cell community. The Small Cell Forum is keen to see other bodies implement the completed specifications into the dominant industry-standard APIs. The specifications are for network-based APIs, which will allow operators and apps developers to drive the development of small-cell-powered open-access, enterprise and consumer applications.
Enhanced features. Lower cost.
Faster data flows
The API provides small cell awareness information. That means small cells apps that
- incorporate enhanced presence, context and location-sensitive features
- take advantage of lower cost connections
- enjoy fast data flows.
And that means apps that can ‘see’ end users and so can enable unique, highly personalized services — in the home, the enterprise, shopping malls, stations and many other places.
