The USC 8718 is a high-performance 3G or 4G (dual-mode configurable) small cell specially designed for scalable in-building deployments. In the 3G mode, the USC 8718 can support up to 32 simultaneous 3G voice and data channels. It is capable of a peak downlink rate of 21 Mbps and a peak uplink rate of 5 Mbps. Cisco MAC/PHY software implements receive diversity for superior uplink performance and provides the implementation of soft handover between small cells. In the LTE mode, the USC 8718 can support up to 32 active LTE users (up to 64 active LTE users from Solution Release SCS 5.0 onward) and 128 RRC connected users.
