Marketing Information |

The Cisco 3G WWAN HWICs are the first
enterprise-class 3G WWAN solution. Suitable for both backup and
primary applications, these cards support the latest 3G standards
(High-Speed Packet Access [HSPA] and EVDO Rev A) and are
backward-compatible with Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service
(UMTS), Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE), General
Packet Radio Service (GPRS), and EVDO Rev0/1xRTT. The Cisco 3G WWAN
HWICs Series has two variants:
• Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM) and UMTS models are based on 3GPP, and they support HSPA (HSUPA
and HSDPA), UMTS, EDGE, and GPRS.
• Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
models are based on 3GPP2, and they support EVDO RevA/Rev0 and 1xRTT.
The Cisco 3G WWAN HWICs are tightly
integrated with the services provided on the award-winning Cisco
integrated services routers, which deliver secure data, voice,
video, and mobility services. The Cisco 3G WWAN HWICs are supported
on the modular Cisco 1841 and 1861 Integrated Services Routers and
the Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers.
Enterprises are looking for ways to
reduce costs, increase revenue, and improve business continuity. The
Cisco 3G WWAN HWICs, when coupled with a service provider wireless
data plan, provide a cost-effective, rapidly deployable, reliable,
and secure backup solution for remote sites and branch offices. With
data rates approaching T1 speeds, 3G networks provide an alternative
to wireline backup solutions such as ISDN, cable, and DSL. If a
network fails, the Cisco integrated services router routes
mission-critical data to the Cisco 3G WWAN HWIC for transmission
across the wireless infrastructure. In addition, the router can
distinguish different types of traffic and allow only
mission-critical traffic to flow over the backup interface.
With enhanced data rates and improved
latency (below 100 milliseconds), WWAN services are an ideal way to
supplement traditional wireline services. 3G WWAN data services
offered today have average data rates well in excess of ISDN speeds,
with theoretical limits in excess of 7 Mbps on the downlink. You can
use the 3G WWAN as a primary link for sites with lower bandwidth
requirements and for mobile applications. You can also use the 3G
WWAN data services as a cost-effective alternative in areas where
broadband services are either not available or very expensive. Cisco
is building on these performance milestones and adding support for
wireless to our wide variety of WAN interface alternatives.
WAN Backup
Resilient WAN access is a crucial
requirement for branch offices connecting to a corporate site or
the Internet. Although DSL, Frame Relay, ISDN, and dialup are
common choices for backup if a primary WAN link fails, a
nonterrestrial data path such as a 3G WWAN provides enhanced WAN
diversity. Cisco 3G WWAN HWICs combined with the Cisco
integrated services routers offer the capability to
automatically initiate connection over the 3G WWAN when the
primary WAN link is unavailable. In addition, you can use Cisco
3G WWAN HWICs to provide supplemental andwidth when the primary
WAN link is overloaded.
Primary Connectivity
For applications that have low
data usage but high security requirements such as bank ATMs, gas
station kiosks, and telemetry sites, the Cisco 3G WWAN HWIC
offers a secure, simplified, and cost-effective WAN alternative
to DSL or Frame Relay. In areas where terrestrial broadband
services (cable, DSL, or T1) are not available or are expensive,
3G WWAN connectivity can be a viable alternative.
For businesses requiring rapid
setup or temporary connectivity, 3G WWAN offers the capability
to bring up a new site quickly and cost-effectively. Using the
integrated services available on the Cisco integrated services
routers, Cisco 3G WWAN HWICs can provide instant and mobile
communications during disasters and service outages.

Features |
-
Integrated 3G WWAN broadband:
With the 3G WWAN modem integrated into the router, you gain the
benefit of simplified installation and management. In addition, the
Cisco 3G WWAN HWICs are tightly integrated with Cisco integrated
services routers, which run the industry-leading Cisco IOS®
Software, giving you access to all the advanced features of Cisco
IOS Software such as quality of service (QoS), intelligent network
queuing, and robust security.
-
Short installation time:
Businesses sometimes wait for weeks or months to get data circuits
installed at new locations. For temporary or seasonal sites,
wireless data services allow instant connectivity anywhere there is
cellular coverage, and rapid deployment allows you to quickly set up
networks with WAN connectivity.
-
Network resiliency through WAN diversity:
WAN connectivity is crucial to the functioning of your business, and
any downtime means a loss of productivity and lost opportunity.
Staying connected and operational during a network outage can be
vital. A wireless connection for backup to a remote site provides
protection against line outages and an additional level of
redundancy because the 3G WWAN infrastructure is often served by
separate facilities, providing redundancy for the entire local loop.
-
Reduced cost: The
emerging 3G WWAN cellular data service plans are competitively
priced with existing wireline services (ISDN, DSL, and cable). 3G
WWAN solutions also allow you to consolidate your service providers
across large geographical areas instead of having service contracts
with multiple service providers.
-
Portability: You can
easily relocate wireless routers and Cisco 3G WWAN HWICs wherever
coverage is available.
-
Performance: With
increasing data usage and the proliferation of web-based
applications at remote sites, there is an increasing need for
high-speed (broadband) data connections to run mission-critical
applications at these sites. 3G WWAN services promise low-latency
links at speeds approaching T1 connections, allowing you to send and
receive more mission-critical data across the WAN in backup
scenarios.
