NOVELTY - The reflector (100) has a processing circuitry communicating information between a mobile terminal and a backhaul network and determining one of a proximal distance to an object, speed of movement of the object and direction of movement of the object. A power source i.e. solar cell (220), provides electrical energy to one of the processing circuitry and a wireless transceiver. A housing (110) includes a pavement marker provided with a raised reflective surface. The housing contains the processing circuitry, the wireless transceiver and the power source.    USE - Small cell data expansion reflector for use as a street surface reflector i.e. surface marker, for facilitating traffic control and safety. Uses include but are not limited to a road reflector, raised pavement marker, street reflector, road stud and a pavement reflector.    ADVANTAGE - The reflector provides wireless coverage area, cellular coverage area and discrete wireless-fidelity hotspot for providing large coverage area when a user moves between locations. The reflector receives and stores location information derived from a global positioning system (GPS) from a controller unit and allows the user of a mobile terminal to use a maps or navigation application to track a selected path from a point to another point such that the mobile terminal looses connection with GPS satellites and cannot determine location of the mobile terminal between the points, so that the reflector forwards the location information to the mobile terminal, thus enabling the mobile device's maps or navigation application to determine the location of the mobile terminal, and hence enhancing user's GPS navigation experience. The reflector is provided with a controller to initiate download of buffered data without user interaction in response to a re-establishment of a link, so that the user can complete the download without being required to re-start the entire download.
