One thing to watch out for with the small cell is what radio technologies are being supplied. If I'm not mistaken the Cisco small cell will provide 4G for Verizon, not 3G, which means you get data only, no voice. There is the option for VoLTE, but that isn't widely deployed yet.

I believe WiFi calling will be the future and these "small cell" systems will be phased out. I know a network engineer at AT&T and they are really pushing the WiFi calling for these situations.

Here at the Charleston Area Medical Center, we are an Extreme shop and have been happy with it for years, but increasing cellular issues and outright refusal of wireless carriers to participate in a DAS has let us few choices. One partial solution was discussed on the list, a couple of weeks ago under the topic of Wi-Fi Calling. This is another approach which is possibly replace our existing wireless network with a combined Wi-Fi/Cellular system. I am asking the list if anyone is currently running such a solution and how it works for them, both the good and the bad. I will summarize for the list if respondents want to remand anonymous, but I am looking to try to get some honest feedback on what will probably be a difficult install. Even if it works perfectly, none of my network management solutions and purchase/service agreements will work and it would all be brand new. Brand new is not a show-stopper but it is also not trivial either.
