Global 2G/3G/4G residential and enterprise femtocell equipment market rose 4 percent sequentially to $115 million in the second quarter of 2013.
4G LTE was the growth driver, said Infonetics Research on Thursday.
Sales of 3G femtocells still dominate the market, despite the focus of vendors on 4G.

Richard Webb, directing analyst for microwave and carrier WiFi at Infonetics Research, said that residential femtocells still account for the bulk of the market, though from this point forward. The teleocom industry will see increasing adoption of femtocells from the enterprise segment, which is a key focus for a growing number of operators.
FDD-LTE femtocells are expected to grow at a 76 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2012 to 2017.
