Small cell network and distributed antenna system (DAS) solutions enable mobile or private network operators to increase network capacity and extend service coverage.
While the traditional DAS system does not require a separate backhaul, the small cell network device need to be connected to a wired backhaul, like in your case the fiber backhaul (with appropriate PON unit with an ethernet port. Most small cell devices have ethernet WAN port for internet connectivity).

You can check this sample indoor small cell CBRS device Askey SFE3160S CBSD, which functions more or less like the Verizon’s network extenders for LTE coverage extension/improvement.
With 5G NR gaining traction small devices are going to be key in cellular coverages.
