Smallest Cisco ISR in both Hardened and Non-hardened Form Factors |
Single platform for multiple applications |
• This single architecture is uniquely designed for deployments in multiple remote applications such as ATM machines, kiosks, small branch offices, remote teleworker sites, gas stations, telemetry, etc. and across all industries.
• Hardened models extend the ISR footprint into deployments wherein the router is exposed to extreme environmental conditions such as heat dissipation, exposure to extreme temperatures, dust, splash water, shock and vibration.. |
Hardened Router Industrial-grade components |
• The hardened router supports extended temperature ranges from -13 to 140ºF (-25 to 60ºC).
• Meets 95 percent of the Non-Condensing Humidity Requirements, IP 41 per IEC 60529 for Vertical Falling Water and Pollution 3 for Dust. The router meets MIL-STD-810, SAEJ1455, and ENG3396 for Shock and Vibe standards.
• Supports a variety of mounting options, including 35-mm din-rail per EN60715, floor mount, and wall mount, and offers both AC and DC* power options allowing for deployment flexibility.. |
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. |
Increased performance to run concurrent services |
• Performance allows customers to take advantage of broadband network speeds while running secure, concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services. |
Enhanced security |
• An integrated stateful and application inspection firewall provides network perimeter security and high-speed IP Security (IPsec); 3DES and AES encryption offer data privacy over the Internet.
• Intrusion prevention enforces security policies in a larger enterprise or service provider network.
• Content filtering offers category-based URL classification and blocking, thus providing increased productivity and better use of company resources.
• ScanSafe web security and filtering solution that requires no additional hardware or client software. Enables remote locations to intelligently redirect web traffic to the cloud to enforce granular security and acceptable use policies over user web traffic. |
Integrated WLAN Access Point |
• Integrates the Cisco 3500 802.11 a/b/g/n Access Point for mission-critical applications. By intelligently avoiding interference, the WLAN feature offers performance protection for 802.11n networks to help ensure reliable application delivery. The 2X3 MIMO AP comes with Cisco's CleanAir technology, the industry's first to create a self-healing, self-optimizing wireless network.
• With dual radios, the Cisco AP can serve both as an access point and as a client to a wireless mesh network concurrently, providing another source for WAN diversity.
• The AP ClientLink feature improves reliability and coverage for legacy devices
• Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) allows detecting and avoiding interference with radar signals to comply with regulatory domains. More information on the Cisco 3500 AP is available at:

Multiple WAN and LAN Connections |
Four-port 10/100-Mbps managed switch |
• Allows for multiple Ethernet device connectivity in a small office or other remote location with the ability to designate a port as the network edge.
• VLANs allow for secure segmentation of network resources.
• Multiple LAN and WAN devices can be connected to standard 10/100/Ethernet or serial interfaces. |
WAN diversity |
• Support for multiple WAN links: Gigabit Ethernet, Serial, 3G provide for business continuity. |
Transparent Roaming Between Wireless Networks |
Dual subscriber-identity-module (SIM) support |
• Hardware readiness for Dual SIM provides for high reliability and cellular multi-homing support for HSPA-based networks. |
Cisco IOS Mobile IP features |
• Mobile IP offers transparent roaming for mobile networks, establishing a transparent Internet connection regardless of location or movement. This enables mission-critical applications to stay connected even when roaming between networks.
• Assigned IP addresses to the home network are maintained in private or public networks. |
Cisco IOS Mobile network features |
• Allows an entire subnet or mobile network to maintain connectivity to the home network while roaming. |
Multiple wireless WAN technologies |
• Supports the best wireless (3G, 3.5G or 3.7G) technology or network available. |
Advanced IP Services in Standards-Based Cisco IOS Software |
Advanced security features |
• Authorization and authentication determines which individuals and devices have access to the network.
• Firewall protection provides perimeter security when using public networks.
• 3DES and AES encryption provides for highly secure VPNs when transmitting and receiving data over public networks.
• Intrusion detection monitors potential malicious activity within the network. |
QoS features |
• Provides traffic precedence to delay-sensitive or prioritized applications.
• Facilitates low-latency routing of delay-sensitive applications such as streaming video. |
IP Multicast |
• Allows efficient broadcast of data or video for increased situational awareness, multiuser communications, or surveillance applications. |
Management and manageability |
• Network managers can remotely manage and monitor networks with SNMP, Telnet, or HTTP, and locally through a console port.
• Support for extensive 3G- and 4G LTE-based MIBs allows for centralized management of remote devices and gives network managers visibility and control of the network configurations at the remote site.
• Network managers can reset to a pre-designated golden image as well as configure an ISR through Cisco IOS Software or through an external reset button.
• Network managers can upgrade 3G, 3.5G and 3.7G (4G???) firmware and router configurations remotely and confirm enhancement verification.
• Tight integration with Cisco IOS Software allows you to self-monitor the functions of the 3G, 3.5G and 3.7G (4G???) modems and auto-recover from a failure.
• Cisco Configuration Professional provides a web-based tool that simplifies setup and deployment.
• Intuitive network management tools such as CiscoWorks and HP OpenView are supported. |
