The Cisco 880 Series is ideally suited for small office and remote office deployments. The router
provides a highly secure onsite Internet connection, using the broadband connection that works
best for your business. In addition, it lets you extend your network beyond the main office to
employees working from home, at Wi-Fi hotspots, or at other offices. These offsite employees can
use the same network resources available in the main office, using a highly secure VPN. Built-in
wireless networking lets you enable employees to stay securely connected while roaming around
the workplace. You can centrally manage the remote site to quickly troubleshoot any network
issues. Together, the built-in wireless and security services simplify the management of network
devices.
Figure 3 shows a scenario for deploying the Cisco 880 Series with a backup 3G network
connection.
Figure 3. 3G Deployment for a Backup Connection
The Cisco 880 Series lets small businesses improve business resiliency with a built-in 3G or ISDN
backup network connection. If the primary network connection should fail, the backup connection
will ensure that network connectivity is uninterrupted. The 3G allows you to provide data access in
areas where wireless LAN access is not available.
The Cisco 880 Series provides:
Increased performance to run concurrent services: High performance lets you take
●
advantage of broadband network speeds while running highly secure, concurrent data,
voice, video, and wireless services.
Enhanced security to protect business data: A built-in stateful inspection firewall protects
●
the network perimeter with advanced security. High-speed IP security (IPSec) Triple Data
Encryption Standard (3DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption help
ensure data privacy over the Internet. Sophisticated IPS helps detect and mitigate security
threats. Built-in security solution includes subscription-based content filtering that lets you
control content based on category to protect against adware, malware, and spyware; help
employees stay productive; and improve use of company resources.
