Cisco Universal Small Cell 8838 Band 2/4 - wireless cellular modem - 4G LTE

Studies have shown that LTE subscribers increase their mobile data usage by up to ten times more than 3G users once they get accustomed to LTE's faster speeds for data-intensive mobile applications. As the demand for mobile broadband accelerates, so too grows the need to use LTE technologies more efficiently indoors without creating network complexity. The Cisco USC 8000 Series offers transparent and fully coordinated cellular coverage for environments where the mobile operator's macro network cannot do so cost effectively. The crucial element is a single, high-density, multitechnology controller for management and autoconfiguration of the in-building system.

The Cisco USC 8838 is the most robust Cisco small cell offering to address growing LTE demand. It integrates multiaccess small cells into the mobile network by supporting LTE operations with SON capabilities. Each small cell can be installed easily on walls or ceilings, and its network connectivity and power are provided over Ethernet. The Cisco USC 8838 is convection cooled with a built-in antenna (Figure 1), but it is also available with external antennas.
