Cisco 4G LTE (Category 4) Wireless WAN Interface Module for Cisco 800M Integrated Services Router Data Sheet
Available Languages
The Cisco® 4G LTE Category 4 Wireless WAN Interface Module (WIM) for the Cisco 800M Integrated Services Router (ISR) provides the next generation of wireless WAN primary, backhaul, and backup solutions.
Overview
Wireless WAN interface modules (WIMs) provide highly flexible connectivity options for the Cisco 800M ISR. The Cisco 4G LTE WIM can provide either primary connectivity or backup communications, offering network resiliency for business continuity. With greater agility and speed to deployment than wired solutions, 4G LTE can reduce network cost, and it complements wire-line public and private network access. Practical applications of 4G LTE for organizations include parallel networks, primary connection, failover, in-vehicle connectivity, network convergence, and last-mile diversity. It provides enterprise-class wireless WAN (WWAN) connectivity that is used for both backup and primary applications. The 4G LTE WIM with the Cisco 800M ISR leads the industry in bringing enterprise-grade functions such as Quality of Service (QoS), Multi-Virtual Route Forwarding (Multi-VRF), advanced VPN, and unified communications solutions over LTE.
The Cisco 4G LTE WIM (Figure 1) provides an enterprise-class 4G multimode LTE WWAN solution. With the Cisco 800M ISR, 4G LTE is a powerful primary WAN access solution. Businesses can now run applications such as interactive video and telepresence on a primary 4G LTE connection, which is up to 50 times faster with far lower latency than 3G links. These 4G modules support the latest Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8 Category 4 LTE standards. The Cisco 4G multimode LTE WIM provides persistent, reliable LTE connectivity with fallback and transparent handoff to earlier technologies. The card provides bandwidth to support high-definition (HD) and peer-to-peer (P2P) video calls, providing customers with an excellent mobile broadband experience. The 4G LTE WIM is tightly integrated with the services provided on the Cisco 800M ISR, which delivers secure data, video, and mobility services. The WIM is supported on the Cisco 800M ISR only.
