Figure C-2 • Macrocells cover relatively large areas, perhaps an entire metropolitan area of 50–60 miles in diameter. • Microcells cover a smaller area of perhaps 6–8 miles in diameter. • Picocells cover a very small area of perhaps only a few city blocks, a tunnel, walkway, or single floor of a parking garage. • Femtocells are very small radio cells associated with cellular radio base stations located in homes or small offices.
