Answer and explanation:

We have to consider two factors: the bandwidth and the link of capacity. If the bandwidth is "x" Mbps (Megabytes per second) and the link of capacity is "y" Mbps, the maximum number of circuit-switched users supported is the result of dividing the link of capacity between the bandwidth. Thus:

Maximum number of circuit-switched users supported = y/x
