A system is disclosed for the intelligent operation of a small cell. A cell is implemented with multiple cellular transceivers that may be remotely configurable. A local controller monitors the current actual traffic flow from carriers currently be supported by the transceivers and current potential traffic flow from presently unsupported carriers and generates performance data related thereto. The performance data is reported to a remote controller with data analysis capability to develop a profile. Based on profile information, both current and historic, the remote controller can send configuration command data to the local controller. The local controller uses the configuration command data to reconfigure the transceivers in one or more cells to accommodate changing traffic flow patterns.
