®
Universal Small Cell 8838 (USC 8838) is part of the Cisco Universal Small
Cell Solution, an end-to-end platform that integrates 3G, LTE and carrier-grade Wi-Fi
with self-organizing network (SON) and backhaul technologies for an efficient and
highly secure heterogeneous network (HetNet). The Cisco USC Series provides the
right solution for every indoor environment, from the home to enterprises of every size,
up to large high-density environments such as airports, shopping malls, and
campuses. The Cisco USC 8838 is designed to operate in conjunction with the Cisco
USC 8088 Controller, providing transparent, high-quality coverage in large
enterprises, across campuses, and in large indoor public spaces where mobile voice
and data are mission critical.

Product Overview
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
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 whe
re 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.
