| | Deployment strategy | Cell density (cells per km2) | Total cost per area (k/km2) | Cost-efficiency (kbps/) |
| | Homogeneous (macro-only) | | | | | ISD 1732 m—no B/H limitation | 3.5 | 121 | 0.23 | | ISD 866 m—no B/H limitation | 13.9 | 482 | 0.21 | | ISD 433 m—no B/H limitation | 55.4 | 1924 | 0.22 |
| | Heterogeneous (macro-femto) | | | | | ISD 1732 m (5% femtopenetration): | | | | | (i) Femtocell B/H connectivity at 4 Mbps | 160 | 528 | 1.0 | | (ii) Femtocell B/H connectivity at 16 Mbps | 160 | 528 | 2.65 | | (iii) Femtocell B/H connectivity at 100 Mbps | 160 | 528 | 2.65 |
