- Lightweight, compact size with low power consumption
Can be deployed in many different environments where space, heat dissipation, and low power consumption are critical factors. - High performance to run concurrent services
High performance allows customers to take advantage of broadband network speeds while running secure, concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services. - High availability and business continuity
Redundant WAN connections for failover protection and load balancing. Dynamic failover protocols such as Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP; RFC 2338), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and Multigroup HSRP (MHSRP). - Consistent, high application performance levels
The router can run multiple services simultaneously with minimal performance degradation. - Risk mitigation with multilevel security
Network perimeter security with integrated application inspection firewall. Data privacy through high-speed IP Security (IPsec) Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) to identify malware communications in encrypted traffic using passive monitoring, extraction of relevant data elements, and supervised machine learning with cloud-based global visibility. - Unified control of wired and wireless networks from a common console for streamlined operations
Simplifies and centralizes configuration and management of wireless and wireline devices. Supports WLAN services without requiring a wireless LAN controller. - Lower WAN expenditures
Smaller form factor and Cisco Pluggable technology provide additional protection investment and flexibility.
Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with Cisco IOS XE software combine Internet access, comprehensive security, and wireless services in a single, high-performance device. The routers are easy to deploy and manage, with separate data and control plane capabilities. The Cisco 1000 Series ISRs are well-suited for deployment as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) in enterprise branch offices, in service provider managed environments, as well as smaller form factor and M2M use cases.
