Improve Capacity and Coverage

Worldwide mobile data traffic will increase 13-fold over the next five years, reaching 11.2 exabytes per month (for an annual run rate of 134 exabytes) by 2017. Source: Cisco VNI report 2013. Analytics show that the majority of mobile data usage - close to 80 percent - is indoors and nomadic, rather than truly mobile.

With the increased demands on the network, service providers are investing in small cell solutions to help optimize consumer and business services on mobile devices across 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi networks. These small cell solutions can provide efficient connectivity and coverage for all users.

Cisco Small Cell solutions (Cisco Service Provider Wi-Fi and Licensed Small Cell) apply architectural innovation to mobile networking, transforming small cells into a platform for business and service innovation. Cisco Small Cell Solutions are easy to deploy, as well as innovative and proven across the world.

Frictionless Deployment

Cisco offers operational ease by applying network intelligence that is based on years of design and implementation expertise. From radio performance to policy and management, we design simplicity into our solution to keep operators' costs down and mobile users satisfied.

Innovation for Business Results

Cisco is influencing the market towards a unified and scalable, standards-based licensed and unlicensed architecture for wireless service delivery. We add analytic tools that operators use, not only to monitor the network, but to monetize the network, allowing you to unlock new business models.

Real World Heterogeneous Networking

We deliver standards-based self-organizing network (SON) technology, not just for fully integrated, heterogeneous 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi networks, but also for multivendor network deployments. Our solution provides a flexible architecture of infrastructure and software with intelligence.
