microcell

Local signal booster

A microcell is a small cellular base station covering a limited area—typically a building, mall, or stadium section—to boost wireless network capacity where demand is high or coverage weak.

Microcells fill gaps in larger cell networks, handling more users in dense urban environments.

In biology, microcell refers to a cell fragment containing a nucleus and minimal cytoplasm, used in genetic research.
