The Cisco Quantum vPC combines all packet core services for 4G, 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi,
and small cell networks into a single solution. It provides those network functions as
virtualized services, so you can scale capacity and introduce new services much faster
and more cost-effectively. Cisco Quantum vPC is based on the same proven Cisco
StarOS software used in Cisco ASR 5000 Series platforms. It is designed to distribute
and orchestrate packet core functions across physical and virtual resources, so you
can easily transition from physical to virtualized packet core services or use both
simultaneously.

1)LTE RAN and EPC on single chip
2)quortus software EPC technology distills the functionality of a coe network into an
application which can be installed on SoCscommodity hardware or in the cloud.
3)By embedding Quortus EPC on the OCTEON Fusion,the entire functionality of a
mobile network can be held pn the same chip,this means that a single small cell can
become a highly pertable mobile network.
4)Placing the radio and core laye on the same chip reduces the complexity of
interaction between both layer's,enabling the implementation of advanced
functionality such as meshing,macro mobility and satellite backhaul optimization
features in a more efficient way.

System operational within minutes and accomplishes Tetrapol radio communications

with additional broadband data capacities
This new solution provides rescue and security forces fully independent, secure
broadband radio communications for the exchange of large volumes of data in
extreme situations (severe accidents, earthquakes, floods, etc.) and in areas where
there is no radio coverage. It can be used as a supplement to Tetrapol voice
communication and allows a similar coverage like the Tetrapol Tactical Cell of Airbus
Defence and Space
he LTE tactical solution comprises two boxes, which can be easily deployed by two
persons thanks to their small size (63 x 52 x 83 cm) and comparatively little weight of
50 kg. The radio relay function is performed by one of the two boxes. In the second
box, which contains the radio management system, users can integrate their own data
application servers and/or a link to a long-range communication network (satellite link,
microwave). To make it totally independent, this LTE tactical solution can be optionally
supplemented by a third box containing a clean energy source, such as solar panels.
