1 Before You Begin

A fully integrated, high-performance, low-cost third-generation (3G) small cell, your Universal Small Cell (USC) 5310 module is a licensed radio network extension that connects to the module port of the Cisco Aironet 3600 Series access point, which is a UL listed ITE product. This small cell module contains a dedicated 3G small cell base station that delivers mobile services indoors, while offloading traffic from the outdoor macro network.

Using the standards-based technology of Home Node B (HNB), the USC 5310 module provides 3G signals inside a building for voice, data and messaging services for up to 16 simultaneous users within a coverage area of approximately 7000 square feet (650 square meters). The module supports Band 2/5 for the American market and Band 1 for the rest of the world.

System Requirements

This module is designed for use with Cisco Aironet 3600 Series access points. The module is not designed for use with other access points. The USC 5310 module is supported on these Cisco wireless LAN controllers:

•Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controller

•Cisco 7500 Series Wireless Controller

•Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller

The USC 5310 is supported by the following software releases:

•Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 7.6 or later

•Cisco Universal Small Cell Software Release 3.3 or later

•Cisco Small Cell Solution Release 2.0 or later

Power Considerations

Installation of your small cell module requires an additional 6 watts to power the Cisco Aironet 3600 access point. With a USC 5310 module installed, the access point requires the full Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) of 25.5 Watts at the egress switch port and a cable run of less than 300 feet (100 meters).

Power options for the access point include:

•IEEE 802.3at POE+ 25.5 W delivered from the upstream Ethernet switch

•Cisco 3600 Series Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ4=)

•Cisco 3600 Series local power supply (AIR-PWR-B=)

The USC 5310 module has a power limit circuitry that shuts down the module if it draws more power than allowed.

Installation Considerations

Install your small cell:

•in a central location, in an area where people are most likely to make calls

•away from windows, to avoid the signal leaking outside or external signals leaking in

•in an open area with airflow; not in a closed cabinet which reduces the signal strength

If you have thick internal walls, or metal, fire or rotating doors, plan to place units at either side of the obstruction at a distance shorter than 49 feet (15 m). Install a unit across from a corner to provide coverage on both sides of the corner.
