The telecommunications market in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) is experiencing unprecedented growth. This surge is driven by the widespread deployment of small cells, which enhance network density. While small cells boost coverage and performance, they also bring classic inventory and project management challenges. Just as it does for macro sites, ClickOnSite by IT-Development is a vital ally for mobile network operators (MNOs) in managing these assets, including femtocells, picocells, and microcells.
A Region in Transformation
Telecom infrastructure management in the MENA region is evolving rapidly. Tower companies (towercos) now manage nearly 30% of assets in the area. Mergers, such as Ooredoo-Zain with TASC Towers, highlight this rapid shift. Towercos like TAWAL, Helios Towers, and IHS Towers enable MNOs to focus on their core business while optimizing passive infrastructure.
However, this growth comes with challenges. Macroeconomic volatility, import restrictions, and regulatory constraints slow progress in certain countries. Despite these hurdles, the future looks bright with the rise of 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), and increasing demand for connectivity.
The Strategic Role of Small Cells in MENA
Small cells have become a critical solution for MNOs in this dynamic landscape. Installed close to end-users, they enhance network density, improve service quality, and reduce latency. However, managing small cells is becoming more complex due to the diversity of technologies (4G, 5G, Wi-Fi) and the growing integration of features like edge computing.
Asset management is key to overcoming these challenges. By providing a centralized view of infrastructure, it helps MNOs optimize resources, improve service quality, and lower operational costs.
