Scalable LTE/3G Coverage, Fully Integrated With Enterprise Wi-Fi, Now Available to Enterprise Customers and Channel Partners
BARCELONA, SPAIN -- (Marketwired) -- 03/02/15 -- Mobile World Congress-- Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced commercial availability of its Universal Small Cell (USC) 8000 Series designed for large enterprises and venues. This solution is the result of a strategic collaboration between Cisco and SpiderCloud Wireless, and will be offered to Cisco's enterprise customers and channel partners. The global agreement includes Cisco reselling SpiderCloud's entire small cell portfolio under the USC 8000 Series brand. In addition, SpiderCloud will develop custom small cell technology for Cisco. Vodafone will be the first service provider to deliver the mobile service to its enterprise customers.
The USC 8000 small cell solution was developed in response to customer demand for a more scalable and integrated approach to enterprise small cells. Enterprises know that mobile technology has the potential to transform business, by allowing them to work more flexibly, more responsibly and more productively. But to do that the service has to be universal, and has to work hand-in-hand with existing Wi-Fi networks.
Mobile usage is becoming an increasingly indoor activity -- especially in business and public spaces. Yet this is where mobile signals can struggle to penetrate, and where traditional in-building solutions like Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) are often not commercially viable.
Highlights:
The USC 8000 Series comprises several key advances that propel in-building mobile service from a niche fix to a mainstream business enabler, when delivered as part of the Cisco USC:
