Cisco has joined hands with SpiderCloud Wireless to resell SpiderCloud’s entire small cell portfolio under the USC 8000 Series brand to Cisco’s enterprise customers and channel partners. 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.
Michael Gallagher, chief executive officer, SpiderCloud Wireless, said: “This is a market changer. Our collaboration with Cisco will speed up small cell deployments to benefit large enterprise customers worldwide.”
The USC 8000 small cell solution provides real-time coordination and distributed SON capability for up to 100 LTE/3G access points, enough to cover the largest buildings.
Cisco is offering USC 8000 Series access points as standalone units or as plug-in modules for the Cisco Aironet 3600/3700 Wi-Fi access points.
Matt Beal, director of Innovation and Architecture, Vodafone Group, said: “Working with Cisco and SpiderCloud, we will be able to offer our enterprise customers a highly flexible small cell system that can be deployed rapidly and cost-effectively to enhance the quality of the mobile and Wi-Fi coverage our customers rely on to run their businesses.”
