At the recent Mobile World Congress, Cisco announced that EE, the UK’s largest mobile operator, is deploying Cisco small cells to support its growing base of enterprise customers. According to Cisco, its small cells solution is highly scalable to the size of the enterprise premises, and caters for the needs of small, medium and large enterprise buildings. Cisco said that enterprises and their customers will benefit from a “five-bar” experience using the solution which works on standalone access points and modules that plug into existing Cisco Wi-Fi access points. Compared to traditional in-building systems, the small cells, said Cisco, are easier to deploy and are able to coordinate automatically to provide complete coverage that reaches every corner of the building.
We have constantly sought to take innovative approaches to providing the best mobile network with the best coverage and the best experience, and that has been a major factor in driving our success with UK businesses. Cisco has a high-quality small cell solution that works with all sizes and shapes of enterprise buildings, and its leadership in networking makes it an ideal partner for our continued growth in this market.
Scott Morrison, vice president and general manager of Cisco Small Cell Business
We’re delighted to be working with EE on the new wave of enterprise small cell deployments. We are confident that our end-to-end solutions, which accommodate all building types with full Wi-Fi integration, will provide world-class support to EE and its customers well into the future.
