Cisco UCC5G-UPF-S31-S 1K Sessions SIA User Plane Function | 5G UPF — UCC5G-UPF-S31-S

Cisco UCC5G-UPF-S31-S is designed for teams that need a defined 1,000-session licensing point for User Plane Function deployments. In 5G core environments, that matters: the user plane is where traffic handling, service continuity, and operational predictability intersect. This SKU gives architects a clear entitlement model for planning capacity without moving immediately to a larger commitment. For procurement and infrastructure leaders, the appeal is straightforward. A 1K sessions SIA license creates a measurable step in the deployment roadmap, making it easier to align spend with traffic growth, test-to-production transitions, and service-provider rollout phases. It is especially useful when the goal is to standardize Cisco-based mobile core licensing while keeping capacity decisions tied to actual network requirements. Compared with broader licensing packages, this option is more precise. It supports disciplined scaling and helps teams avoid paying for unused headroom too early. For organizations building or expanding a Cisco 5G core, it provides a practical balance between control, capacity definition, and future expansion planning. Ideal For Deploying a 5G UPF with a 1,000-session licensing target Expanding a Cisco mobile core in measured capacity increments Supporting pilot-to-production transition for user-plane services Aligning licensing spend with session growth in carrier networks Why This Product 1 1,000-session entitlement versus base minimum licensing 2 More capacity-specific than generic UPF software subscriptions 3 Better for measured growth than broad upfront commitments 4 Built for Cisco 5G core planning rather than general IT software
