The small cell modules are not designed for use with other access points. The small cell modules are managed by the Cisco USC
8088 controller installed in the enterprise.
Power Considerations
Installation of your small cell module can require an additional 10 watts to power the Cisco Aironet access point. With a small cell
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 small cell 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
•
at least 5 meters (16 feet) from an external wall. This distance maximizes indoor coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside
the building. Refer to the Cisco USC 8000 Series Deployment Planning Guide for Dual-Mode Systems and Cisco USC 8000
Series Deployment Planning Guide for LTE Systems for more information about small cell placement.
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.
