General Description
The Cisco 819 Integrated Services Router, part of the Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) Family designed in compact hardened and non-hardened form factors, is the smallest Cisco IOS Software router with support for integrated fourth-generation (4G LTE) and third-generation (3G) wireless WAN (mobile broadband backhaul). The 3G Cisco 819 now supports Dual 802.11 a/b/g/n radios WiFi. The Cisco 819 ISR machine-to-machine gateway provides a rapidly deployable, highly available, reliable, and secure solution into machine-to-machine applications for financial, telemetry, utility, retail, industrial automation, and transportation with comprehensive management capability. Transparently integrated into Cisco IOS Software as an enterprise-class feature, the Cisco 819 Hardened ISR provides highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes across wired and wireless links.
Available in both non-hardened (Cisco 819G) and hardened (Cisco 819HG) versions, the Cisco 819 supporting 4G LTE and 3G wireless WAN (WWAN) speeds offers a cost-effective, rapidly deployable, reliable, and secure primary or backup solution. With support for industrial-grade components, the hardened Cisco 819HG extends the ISR machine-to-machine gateway footprint and provides the flexibility for deployment in many different stationary and mobile environments where space, heat dissipation, exposure to extreme temperatures, harsher environments, and low power consumption are critical factors. For mobile applications, Mobile IP delivers transparent roaming across multiple wireless networks capable of covering wide geographic areas.
The Cisco 819 ISR is a standard form factor with a commercial operating range. The 3G Cisco 819 ISRs support the 3G speeds (High-Speed PacketAccess Plus [HSPA+] enabling up to 4G speeds and Evolution Data Optimized [EVDO Rev A]). They are backward-compatible with High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS), Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), and EVDO Rev 0/1xRTT.
The 4G LTE C819 supports the latest Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8 LTE standards. The Cisco 4G multimode LTE WWAN C819 provides persistent and reliable LTE connectivity with fallback and transparent handoff to earlier technologies. The Cisco 819HG-4G and Cisco 819G-4G support multimode 4G LTE and have embedded Sierra Wireless multimode modem.
The Cisco 819 ISR is a desktop form factor with built-in wall-mount features, floor mount, and DIN rail mount features in selected SKUs. These routers are powered by an external AC power or optional DC adapter. Figure 1-1 shows the Cisco 819HG ISR.
Beginning with IOS release 15.2(4)M1, the new 3G Cisco 819HGW and Cisco 819HWD ISRs support WiFi radios with a higher memory density and a new barrel-type power connector. A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) implements a flexible data communication system frequently augmenting rather than replacing a wired LAN within a building or campus. WLANs use radio frequency to transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Figure 1-2 shows the Cisco 819HGW ISR.
The WLAN for 3G Cisco 819HGW and Cisco 819HWD ISRs have the following additional features:

The Cisco standard High Speed Smart Serial 12-in-1 connector allows the highest flexibility of connections to various DTE/DCE devices. The 12-in-1 serial interface pins connect to the FPGA. The FPGA configures the pin directions based on the cable type used. Figure 1-6 shows the magnified view of the 12-in-1 serial port. For more information, see About Serial Connections.
Figure 1-6 12-in-1 Serial Port
Power Supply
All SKUs require a 5 VDC power source. Cisco 819HG and Cisco 819G ISRs have a self-locking Molex mini-fit connector. Cisco 819HGW and Cisco 819HWD ISRs use a 5.5 mm barrel-type connector with separate locking clip. An external AC power adapter is supported by default. The optional external power adapters are available to support a variety of DC power sources, suitable for fixed, vehicle, or railway installations. The 5 VDC power input of the router is protected from over-voltage up to 20 VDC. The router will not power up if excessive voltage (for example, a 12 VDC adapter) is connected.
AC Power Adapter
The default configuration includes an external AC adapter that supplies up to 20 W of power. The AC power connection is a two-pin IEC 320 C8 receptacle. A mating AC power cord is supplied. The AC adapter does not provide chassis grounding to the router. A 1.3-meter long output cable connects to the router.
DC Power Adapters
The optional external DC power adapters are available for 12 VDC and 24 VDC nominal vehicle power.
•
•
The vehicle power adapters may be used for fixed or mobile installations. They do not provide electrical isolation; the input negative is connected to the output negative (chassis ground). Input cable is 1-meter long with stripped and tinned bare wire connections. The input positive connection is a white wire and the input negative is a black wire.
Note
Railway Power Adapters
The optional external power adapters meeting Railway Standards are available from a third-party supplier, Martek Power. Contact Martek Power directly to order and for detailed specifications. The use of Martek Power adapters listed in the "Supported Power Adapters" section will maintain Cisco warranty and support of the router; the power adapter itself is covered by Martek warranty. Input connection to the railway adapters is by a 1-meter long wire with stripped and tinned bare wire connection. A 1.3-meter long output cable connects to the router.
