Cisco 3700 Series
Benefits and Advantages Benefits & Advantages
Incremental Migration
to IP Telephony
Supports a wide range of traditional telephony
devices and newer IP telephony solutions to
enable immediate or gradual migration. Analog
telephony connectivity options start at two
analog ports and scaling to 16, 32, 48, or 64
analog ports. Digital telephony connectivity is
just as scalable, with options from 12 to 240
channels. IP telephony solutions are further
supported on the Cisco 3700 Series through a
powerful set of features including line-powered
IP phone connectivity that begins with 16 ports
and scales to 36, 52, or 72 ports.
Power
High-speed routing performance up to 225,000
packets per second, providing the scalability to
support more concurrent services.
Interoperability/Multiprotocol
Support
Offers a comprehensive set of protocols and
services, including virtual private networking,
firewall protection, encryption, WAN
optimization, and enhanced multimedia
support features.

When to Deploy
Deploy the Cisco 3700 Series when you need:
• New levels of branch office service density in
a compact form factor
• Integrated flexible routing and low-density
switching (16- or 36-ports)
• Flexible, incremental, and scalable migration
to a converged branch office network
• Compatibility with more than 90 percent of the
world's legacy analog and digital TDM PBXs
• Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST)
features that enable branch offices to leverage
centralized call processing while providing
local branch IP Telephony redundancy
• Support for advanced quality of service (QoS),
bandwidth optimization, and data fragmenta-
tion, as well as voice call admission control,
call control, and queuing mechanisms, without
sacrificing the expected data performance
needed for future growth
• Availability features (Cisco 3745 only) such as
redundant power, online insertion and
removal components, and field replaceable
components.
