Remote Call Center Agent: Similar to teleworking applications, this solution extends the Cisco IP Contact
●
Center solution for telephone call center agents to remote sites. With a high-quality, secure connection
through the Cisco 870 Series, the call center agent can be dispersed away from costly call center facilities
while maintaining secure and productive voice and data access in their home. (See Cisco Call Center
Solutions for more information.)
Retail VPN: Retail stores migrating from dialup connections for point of sales transactions can use the Cisco
●
870 Series to take advantage of low-cost broadband access with the required security to effectively use these
public networks. Multiple devices and applications can then be added to the store network to take advantage
of the increased bandwidth and also incorporate optional WLAN support to enable secure mobility and
enhance productivity.
Managed Services: Service providers and value-added resellers can use the Cisco 870 Series as a platform
●
to offer differentiated business class security and WLAN services for small to medium business customers.
