The features of IS - 95B are:

The interim data solution of CDMA is called IS-95B. Like GPRS, IS-95B is already being deployed worldwide, and provides high speed packet and circuit switched data access on a common CDMA radio channel by dedicating multiple orthogonal user channels (Walsh functions) for specific users and specific purposes -

1. Each IS-95 CDMA radio channel supports up to 64 different user channels.

2. The original IS-95 throughput rate specification of 9.6 kbps was not implemented in practice but was improved to the current rate of 14.4 kbps as specified in IS-95A.

3. The 2.5G CDMA solution, IS-95B supports medium data rate (MDR) service by allowing a dedicated user to command up to 8 different user Walsh codes simultaneously and in parallel for an instantaneous throughput of 115.2 kbps per user (8*14.4 kbps)

4. However, only about 64 kbps of practical throughput is available to a single user in IS-95B due to the slotting techniques of the air interface.

5. IS-95B also specifies hard hand-off procedures that allow subscriber units to record different radio channels in the network without instructions from the switch so that the subscriber.
