Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Keep pace without the full rip and replace
As organizations are automating and establishing remote fixed and mobile operations, extending connectivity to industrial IoT locations can be challenging, especially when requirements differ depending on location and use case. As cellular and wireless technologies evolve, in tandem with customer requirements, solutions need to keep pace without a full rip and replace.
To meet these needs, Cisco’s industrial routers are modular, allowing you the flexibility to swap or upgrade as your requirements change or new technologies become available. We are continually expanding the capabilities of our industrial routers and modules. Check out our portfolio of Pluggable Interface Modules (PIMs) for each of our industrial routers:
