Product Overview
The Cisco® Universal Small Cell (USC) 7330 is an indoor small cell that provides Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) coverage and capacity to public areas where macro networks cannot do so cost-effectively. These locations range from venues for indoor events requiring high-density service to concourse spaces, such as shopping malls, airports, and stations that are characterized by sudden surges in demand. Users in these locations require high data throughput as a viable complement to Wi-Fi and also need good coverage across the public space. In addition to transforming the mobile experience and helping service providers cope with challenging congestion conditions, the Cisco USC 7330 reduces network costs through intelligent policy-based operation, by making use of commodity in-building backhaul.

Features and Benefits
Systems deployed in busy metro areas must be able to meet the high demands created when many users generate bursty traffic, along with the associated signaling. Cisco has developed features and algorithms that allow small cells to self-adjust to these demands, optimizing coverage and capacity to provide sustainable service.
For busy small cells interacting with the existing macro network, mobile operators demand key performance indicators (KPIs) to match those of the macro network. The Cisco USC 7330 (Figure 1) is a highly available device designed to provide up to 99.999 percent availability in high-traffic environments, using commercially proven software enhancements to maximize cell uptime. In common with all Cisco small cells, the Cisco USC 7330 offers fully automated real-time interference management, which is further enhanced using self-organizing network (SON) techniques for multicell clusters.
Low-cost scalability, maintenance and new service delivery are provided by the Cisco Universal Small Cell (USC) Cloud Base lifecycle management system, which is dedicated to small cell deployments. The result is a compelling combination of flexible capacity and coverage with a low total cost of ownership (TCO) for a network that can be deployed quickly and easily.
