Other IR1800-compatible pluggable modules
450MHz LTE module
Extending connectivity to remote sites can be challenging, especially when connectivity requirements differ depending on location and use case. As organizations are automating and establishing remote operations, Cisco is expanding the capabilities of the Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Series Router to meet the connectivity requirements of businesses wherever they operate.
Cellular communications in the 400-450MHz band, also called 450MHz LTE, have a longer wavelength, lower frequency and lower energy requirements compared to the traditional LTE and 5G. Due to the physical properties of the frequencies, it has benefits of covering a larger geographical area. It has been employed across several parts of Europe for connecting utility grids, maritime and other mission critical networks.
Cisco has partnered with Intelliport, a Hungary based technology provider in developing a module for the IR1800s to meet market needs. The 450MHz LTE band provides high resiliency and deep indoor signal penetration to connect the Catalyst IR1800 anywhere onsite. Datasheet for the module is available here.
