G Cellular Data Wan Connectivity; Wireless Lan Connectivity; Feature Summary - Cisco 860 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Chapter 1 Product Overview

3G Cellular Data WAN Connectivity

The 3G (Evolution Data Only [EVDO], Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems [UMTS])
cellular interface is intended for use as a backup data link, but it can also be used as a primary WAN data
link. The 3G technology is third-generation wide-area cellular technology that is used in voice telephony
and broadband wireless data in a mobile environment.
The Cisco 88xG models come with a 34-mm express card slot ready for use with a commercial 3G card
radio. The 3G express card slot is located on the front panel. For a list of supported 3G cards see the
Cisco 880 series ISRs

Wireless LAN Connectivity

The embedded wireless access point is preinstalled in the router as an optional feature. The wireless
access point provides 802.11n wireless connectivity. The Cisco 860 series routers support autonomous
features and network configurations. The Cisco 880 series routers support both autonomous and unified
features and network configurations.
The wireless access point does not have an external console port for connections. To configure the
wireless device, you must use a console cable to connect a PC to the host router's console port as
described in
CLI to access the interface.
