Cisco 5900 Series Embedded Services Routers (ESR) are optimized for mobile and embedded networks that require IP routing and services. They solves critical size, weight, and power challenges and can operate reliably in harsh environments, such as those subject to rough terrain and extreme weather conditions.

These routers are complemented by Cisco IOS Software and Cisco Mobile Ready Net capabilities. With this technology, they provide highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes across wired and wireless links.

The Cisco 5900 Series Embedded Services Routers establish mobile networks in vehicles, extending corporate resources securely to employees in the field within the public safety, exploration, transportation, and defense markets. They offer scalable network platforms, establishing mobile networks for first-responder vehicles, armored vehicles, exploration and mining vehicles and passenger and freight rail trains.

Primary Features

In addition to easy integration, these routers offer such features as:

• Onboard hardware encryption to offload encryption processing from the router
• Industrial-grade board components (-40° to +85°C)
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CME) support

Mobile network optimization capabilities, including:

• Cisco IP Multiplexing
• Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Express
• Mobile Ad Hoc networking
• Radio Aware Routing (RFC5578, R2CP and DLEP)
• Service Advertisement Framework (SAF)

Enhanced Security

The Cisco 5900 Series Embedded Services Routers are also equipped with embedded hardware-accelerated VPN encryption for highly secure connectivity. This features:

• Integrated threat control using Cisco IOS Firewall, Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall, Cisco IOS Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and Cisco IOS Content Filtering
• Identity management using authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) and public key infrastructure
