The neutral hosting market is characterized by a dynamic interplay of technological advancements, evolving regulatory landscapes, and the increasing demand for seamless mobile connectivity. One of the key characteristics is a shared infrastructure model, which includes the deployment and management of shared wireless infrastructure (DAS, small cells, towers, etc.) by independent third-party providers.

This infrastructure is then offered to multiple Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) on a wholesale basis. Another aspect is multi-operator support as neutral host networks are designed to accommodate the technologies and spectrum bands of various MNOs simultaneously, allowing subscribers of different carriers to connect to the same infrastructure.

In terms of market focus, neutral hosting primarily addresses challenges related to extending mobile coverage and increasing network capacity, particularly with respect to indoor environments such as buildings (offices, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, etc.), stadiums, malls, offices, hospitals.

Another key focus area is dense urban environments where macrocell capacity is strained such as transportation hubs (airports, train stations, subways, etc.). To a lesser extent, the market for neutral hosting addresses the needs of rural and underserved areas.
