because it is independent of the local terrestrial infrastructure. It enables businesses to stay productive during
service provider downtime or a network failure.

With enhanced data rates and improved latency (below 100 milliseconds), WWAN services are an ideal way to
supplement traditional wire line services. 3G WWAN data services offered today have average data rates well in
excess of ISDN speeds, with theoretical limits in excess of 7 Mbps on the downlink and 5 Mbps on the uplink. The
3G WWAN can be use as a primary link for sites with lower bandwidth requirements and for mobile applications.
The 3G WWAN data services can also be use as a cost-effective alternative in areas where broadband services
are either not available or very expensive. Cisco is building on these performance milestones and adding support
for wireless to our wide variety of WAN interface alternatives.

Key Business Benefits

Applications
The Cisco 880G Series is ideal for deployment by small businesses, retail locations, small branch offices that are
part of a large enterprise network, and a host of other deployments that need high-speed wireless connectivity and
secure data, voice, and wireless services.

Small Remote Office

The Cisco 880G Series connects users in small remote offices, such as those for insurance agents, lawyers, or
sales, to the main office. You can use the integrated 3G wireless backup option for added reliability when the
primary broadband link fails, or as the primary connection for deployments that are portable, such as insurance
adjustment, mobile banking, and mobile retail. When connecting to the main office, VPN encryption and integrated
security features such as firewall and intrusion prevention protect the network at every perimeter. IT managers can
centrally manage the remote site to quickly troubleshoot network problems. Integrated secure unified WLAN
connectivity simplifies the deployment and management of devices at the remote site.

Virtual Office

The Cisco 880G Series is ideal for corporate teleworkers, who might have a mix of broadband connection types
such as DS, 3G and Ethernet. The Cisco 880G Series provides a secure virtual office with all the collaborative
services such as data, voice, and video. Redundant WAN links help ensure business continuity. QoS features in
the Cisco 880 Series allow an IP phone to be connected to the router, giving voice traffic precedence over data
applications. Integrated WLAN support in the Cisco 880 Series helps ensure that if wireless connectivity is to be
used, the connection will be secure. (Refer to Cisco Business-Ready Teleworker Solutions for more information,
