Cisco 881 Ethernet Security Router The Cisco® 880 Series Integrated Services Routers combine Internet access, security, voice, and wireless services onto a single, secure device that is simple to use and manage for small businesses and enterprise small branch offices and teleworkers. The Cisco 880 Series delivers features including firewall, content filtering, VPNs, and wireless LANs (WLANs) at broadband speeds to small offices. Easy deployment and centralized management features help enable enterprises or service providers to deploy the Cisco 880 Series in small branch offices or small businesses. Product Overview Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers are fixed-configuration routers that provide collaborative business solutions for secure voice and data communication to small businesses and enterprise teleworkers. They offer concurrent broadband services over third-generation (3G), Metro Ethernet, and multiple DSL technologies to provide business continuity. Wireless 802.11n and 3G offer LAN and WAN mobility. The routers provide the performance required for concurrent services, including firewall, intrusion prevention, content filtering, and encryption for VPNs; optional 802.11g/n for mobility; and quality-of-service (QoS) features for optimizing voice and video applications. In addition, the web-based Cisco Configuration Professional configuration tool (CCP) simplifies setup and deployment. Centralized management capabilities give network managers visibility and control of the network configurations at the remote site. Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers offer: • High performance for broadband access in small offices and small branch-office and teleworker sites • Collaborative services with secure analog, digital voice, and data communication • Business continuity and WAN diversity with redundant WAN links: Fast Ethernet, G.SHDSL, Multi-mode DSL (VDSL2 and ADSL2/2+), 3G, and ISDN • Voice enabling features: – Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) voice continuity for enterprise small branch-office and teleworker sites – Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) IP-IP Voice gateway functionality for connecting to SIP trunking services as a replacement for PRI or FXO voice connectivity to the Service Provider.
