Powerful Cisco IOS® Software-based router for small to medium sites offers flexible connectivity options and simplifies large-scale wireless WAN deployments.
Product Overview
The Cisco® 800M Series Integrated Services Router (ISR) is a modular platform in the Cisco 800 Series ISR product family. Intended for small to medium sites, it provides a flexible array of WAN connectivity options with easy migration among WAN interface types. It runs Cisco IOS® Software and delivers built-in security in a single software image with no additional software licenses required. It also integrates application hosting capabilities right in the router.
The Cisco 800M ISR is best suited for the following uses:
● Secure WAN connectivity for branches
● Transmitting transactional data from ATM machines, point-of-sale terminals, and kiosks
● Cellular backup to primary wired links
● Quick, easy connectivity in countries where most WAN infrastructure is cellular: 4G LTE /3G connectivity can be used for primary connections, backup connections, or both
● Locations with WAN services requiring serial connectivity
● Deployments requiring real-time, local data collection and analysis from vending machines, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and M2M sensors in other applications
There are two Cisco 800M Series ISR models; the part numbers are C841M-4X and C841M-8X. Both integrate a Gigabit Ethernet switch and redundant Gigabit Ethernet WAN uplinks. Figure 1 shows the ISR 800M router with part number C841M-8X.
The Cisco 800M Series platform supports pluggable Cisco WAN Interface Modules (WIMs) for flexible connectivity.
Figure 2 shows the rear of the ISR 800M (C841M-8X) with WIM-3G and WIM-1T modules inserted. Figure 3 shows the rear of the ISR 800M (C841M-4X), also with both modules inserted.
Features and benefits
The Cisco 800M Series ISR integrates enterprise-class security and application services while delivering the best price/performance ratio in its class. The router supports highly available and redundant WAN connection options and lets you easily migrate to different WAN connections for investment protection.
The Cisco 800M ISR is the first in the industry to support multiple 3G technologies on the same pluggable WAN interface (the Cisco WIM-3G), providing you with the ability to choose the service provider. The platform is future-enabled, and it provides an open, extensible environment for developing and hosting applications at the network edge for local processing right in the router. The routers support single-pane-of-glass management and the 3G/4G cellular Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) MIB.
The Cisco 800M ISR will support Cisco® Fourth-Generation Long-Term Evolution (4G LTE Category 4) Wireless WAN Interface Module (WIM) to provide the next generation of wireless WAN primary, backhaul, and backup solutions.
