Universal Small Cell 8718 and 8818 (USC 8718 and USC 8818) modules
are part of the Cisco Universal Small Cell Solution, an end-to-end platform that
integrates 3G, LTE, and carrier-grade Wi-Fi with Cisco Self-Organizing Networks
(SON) and backhaul 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. These modules take
advantage of the flexible, modular design of the Cisco Aironet

Product Overview
The USC 8718 and 8818 modules offer improved licensed cellular coverage inside buildings. The modules can be
rapidly deployed onto the footprint of the award-winning Aironet 3600 Series and 3700 Series Wi-Fi access points.
The USC 8718 and 8818 modules are part of the Cisco Universal Small Cell 8000 Series architecture: an
architecture that offers transparent and fully coordinated coverage for indoor environments by using a single, high-
density, multitechnology controller for management and autoconfiguration of the in-building system. The deployed
network consists of up to 100 USC 8000 Series small cells powered by Ethernet, providing coverage and capacity
for more than 500,000 square feet (46,000 square meters) of office space.
Software-upgradable, these modules contain a dedicated 3G or LTE small cell access point that can efficiently
deliver cellular coverage indoors while reducing dependency on poor or congested outdoor macro sites. The
Aironet 3600 Series and 3700 Series Wi-Fi access points and the USC 8718 and 8818 modules (shown together in
Figure 1) provide Wi-Fi infrastructure that supports both the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands along with 3G or LTE cellular
infrastructure at the same site.
