Proven Reliability and Support
Because the Cisco SOHO 78 Router is based on the same proven Cisco IOS technology used on 80 percent of the
Internet and because Cisco IOS Software is the industry-standard application for mission-critical enterprise networks,
SOHO customers can depend on them day after day, year after year.
Lower Deployment Costs
Additionally, Cisco aids service providers by helping reduce deployment costs. Cisco Configuration Express,
a Web-based ordering system and customized in-line manufacturing process, allows service providers to order
preconfigured Cisco SOHO 78 Routers and have them shipped directly to the customer site. This reduces costs for
warehousing and deploying products.
This, combined with the Cisco Router Web Setup tool, promotes efficient customer self-installation. End users
complete the installation simply by bringing up a Web browser and entering a user name and password. By making
deployment of services faster, service providers can save on costs while increasing customer satisfaction.
