Massive MIMO is a new cutting-edge smart antenna technology wherein instead of single antenna, an array of antennas are used to increase the capacity and speed manifold. MIMO sites not only give higher speed but multiple antennas spread in angular shapes cover wider range than conventional antennas. These are used in areas of high footfall and traffic.
Small Cells are electronics used in congested lanes where normal sites are not possible.
