The growth of high-speed internet connectivity is anticipated to drive the expansion of the indoor 5G market in the coming years. High-speed internet enables fast and reliable data transmission, facilitating the efficient management of large volumes of information across diverse networks and technologies. The widening reach of internet connectivity, supported by the expansion of mobile networks, allows greater access to online services, including in remote and underserved areas. High-speed connectivity enhances indoor 5G networks by providing low-latency, dependable data transfer, which is essential for enterprises, hospitals, and other high-density indoor settings. For instance, in 2023, the International Telecommunication Union reported that global internet users grew from 5.1 billion (64% penetration) in 2022 to 5.4 billion (67% penetration) in 2023. This trend highlights how the increasing availability of high-speed connectivity is driving the adoption of indoor 5G solutions.

Major companies in the indoor 5G market are concentrating on lowering deployment costs by adopting energy-efficient small-cell hardware, which helps reduce both capital and operational expenditures and facilitates more cost-effective network rollouts. Energy-efficient small cells are low-power radios designed for indoor settings that minimize energy consumption while delivering adequate coverage and capacity. For example, in February 2023, Ericsson, a Sweden-based telecom-equipment provider, expanded its Indoor Radio Dot System portfolio by launching the IRU 8850 unit for medium-to-large venues and a compact Indoor Fusion Unit for smaller spaces. These units offer low energy consumption, modular installation flexibility, and optimized coverage for high-density indoor environments. By utilizing these energy-efficient solutions, operators can implement indoor 5G networks more economically while ensuring reliable connectivity and sufficient capacity.

In April 2025, Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. acquired Corning Inc.’s wireless business for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Airspan’s indoor 5G offerings by integrating Corning’s DAS and small cell solutions, broadening enterprise and venue-based 5G coverage in high-density environments. Corning Inc., a US-based technology company specializing in indoor 5G solutions, enables Airspan through this acquisition to strengthen its portfolio and provide clients with more comprehensive 5G capabilities.
