5G, all-in-one, industrial-grade routing and switching platform
The Cisco® Catalyst® IR8300 Rugged Series Router is Cisco’s first industrial-grade fully integrated routing and switching platform. Built on the Cisco Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and Cisco Quantum Flow Processor®, which powers the industry-leading Cisco Catalyst products, the IR8300 is designed to provide outstanding flexibility and adaptability to address the latest needs of the network evolution. The IR8300 supports U.S. public safety FirstNet services and new 5G services and is built for accelerated services, multilayer security, and edge intelligence. It can be deployed in the harsh, rugged environments found in the energy, transportation, and oil and gas industries. The router offers advanced security capabilities such as Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and Cisco Cyber Vision. It is designed with a high level of modularity that can be customized to help you reduce costs and make your networking investments ready for the future, keeping in mind the needs of tomorrow.
The Catalyst IR8300 is designed to support the communications needs of the energy delivery infrastructure. This infrastructure includes substation applications supporting electrical transmission and distribution, renewable generation, oil and gas, water, distributed generation, co-generation, and trackside operations. Additional applications include transmission pipelines, distribution mains, and service lines for oil and gas and water. The router has been extensively tested to meet challenging substation compliance standards, including IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850-3.
The Catalyst IR8300 with Cisco IOS® XE supports Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, delivering Cisco’s secure, cloud-scale SD-WAN solution. It is purpose-built for high performance and integrated SD-WAN services, with the flexibility to deliver security and networking services together from the cloud or on premises. Powered by the Cisco IOS XE fully programmable software architecture with API support, the platform can facilitate automation at scale. It comes with a Trustworthy Solutions 2.0 infrastructure that secures the platform against threats and vulnerabilities with integrity verification and remediation of threats.

Utilities
Utilities are seeking the capability to monitor tens of thousands of miles of electric distribution lines or water infrastructure often located in harsh environments over cellular networks to monitor remote assets and provide reliable and secure Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) traffic backhauling. Devices that enable this connectivity need to be highly reliable and able to be remotely monitored and configured. They also need to support traditional serial interfaces to interconnect with existing monitoring devices and fiber overlay for long-distance, intranetworking connectivity. Devices need to be certified and ruggedized to reliably work in these environments.
Roadways and railway intersections
Highways, railroads, and other transportation agencies require reliable networks to connect speed cameras, monitoring cameras, and more using backhaul technologies such as 4G and 5G with secure remote access capabilities to remotely maintain equipment. Railroads are electrifying transport and need a way to monitor the OT and physical network.

Resiliency and high availability
Platform redundancy is critical for branch operations, as any downtime has a direct impact on a customer’s business. To address this priority, Cisco makes a dual power supply the default on the Catalyst IR8300 to help ensure that backup power is available in case the primary power supply fails.
