Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul
Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (Cisco URWB) delivers fiber-like wireless connectivity for moving assets or to extend your network where running fiber isn’t feasible or is too costly. It provides high-bandwidth, high-availability, ultra-low latency, seamless handoffs with zero packet loss; making it ideal to connect the most demanding applications that need uninterrupted wireless connectivity. Cisco URWB is also scalable, easy to install and uses free spectrum.
Cisco URWB can be used to create static, nomadic, and fast-roaming wireless backhaul networks for OT applications. They have been designed and successfully deployed in rail, mining, smart cities, container terminals, entertainment, smart factories, military, automotive, and video broadcasting industries. The MPLS-based secure wireless protocol that enables this technology can provide a set of benefits that surpasses other standards and industrial solutions.
High bandwidth
Up to 7.8 Gbps data rate making it the ideal choice for demanding applications such as real- time video surveillance, onboard Wi-Fi for edge devices, depot telemetry download, and much more.
Seamless handoff
Handoff is one of the primary challenges in vehicle-to-wayside communications. Standard technologies have a hard time when the vehicle is roaming from one base station to the next, resulting in poor signals or signal loss and therefore downtime for the application.
Ultra-low latency
When real-time interaction is required, latency must be negligible compared to the reaction time. Thanks to their wireless aware switching protocol, these radio platforms have incredibly low latency, making them the ideal choice for remote control, machine-level protocols, VoIP, and autonomous and semi-autonomous applications.
Stability and reliability
Mission-critical OT networks cannot allow downtime. Losing connection in OT means stopping machines and processes, often resulting in a huge loss of money. Thanks to the latest technologies and dedicated network design and deployment, Cisco will help make your wireless data network smooth and seamless.
Fast failover
Sometimes stability is not enough. Applications such as Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) require a failover system in case of communication or hardware default. To accomplish this, Cisco introduced a special algorithm that can reconfigure the network on redundant hardware in less than 500 ms.
High availability
Cisco URWB's innovative patented technology, Multipath Operations (MPO), provides uninterrupted wireless connectivity by sending high-priority packets via redundant paths. It lowers the effects of interference and hardware failures preventing packet losses, lowering latency and increasing availability.

Maintain system integrity and production continuity. Cisco Cyber Vision keeps track of process data, asset modifications, and variable changes.
Holistic threat detection
Detect threats before it’s too late. Cisco Cyber Vision identifies known and emerging threats as well as process anomalies and unknown attacks. Fully integrated with the Cisco security portfolio, it extends the IT Security Operations Center (SOC) to the OT domain.
OT security you can deploy at scale
Cisco Cyber Vision leverages a unique edge computing architecture that enables security monitoring components to run within Cisco’s industrial network equipment. No need to source dedicated appliances and build a dedicated out-of-band network. Network managers will appreciate the unique simplicity and the lower costs of the Cisco Cyber Vision architecture when looking to deploy OT security at scale.
Cisco Cyber Vision integrated with ISE and Stealthwatch®
Build converged IT/OT security operations. Here’s how it works:
● Cyber Vision shares industrial asset identity with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Stealthwatch
● Allows the creation of dynamic security groups based on asset type and role to easily enforce zones and conduits through TrustSec
● Security policy now easily accommodates changes to the control system triggered by OT intent
● You can now identify industrial assets within Stealthwatch to accelerate incident response and forensic analysis
● This new integration allows you to define IoT-specific security policies more easily

Unlock business value by simplifying the edge-to-multicloud data flow
The best decisions are made when the right people have access to the right information at the right time. The IoT has dramatically increased the volume and variety of data produced, opening the door to a wave of new possibilities. The key is to extract the data from its source, transform it so it is usable, and securely deliver the right data to the right applications to put it to work.
But most solutions today are so complicated that organizations often cannot reap the full rewards of their data-gathering projects. The most important data is often at the remote edge of the network, where the core business operates, such as in oil rigs, delivery trucks, and utility substations, and on roads. In addition, organizations lose insight into who has access to what data and often don’t have the needed flexibility and simplicity to send the data everywhere it needs to go.
Cisco Edge Intelligence delivers
Cisco Edge Intelligence is a new IoT software solution that securely delivers data from connected assets at the network edge to multicloud application destinations. The software is integrated into Cisco’s industrial networking and compute devices for an out-of-the box experience to simplify deployment and lower costs. It provides full control over and governance of IoT data, from its extraction to its transformation to its secure delivery. And because Cisco Edge Intelligence has a network- integrated approach with centralized management across the network, applications, and data, it is easy to scale and secure.
Benefits
With Cisco® Edge Intelligence, you gain:
● The ability to seamlessly extract, transform, and share data from connected assets at the IoT edge to multicloud environments
● An all-in-one solution for easy deployment out of the box
● Full data ownership, control, and governance
● Cisco security

We know our products have proven to be the industry’s best “ingredients” for IoT networks. But we also know there can be complexity in designing, deploying, and managing those products into a “meal” – a complete solution to support all courses of a real-world use case.
That’s why we have Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs). They are used to validate, architect, and configure next-generation technologies. Each is designed to help you accelerate digital transformation, innovate faster, and stay competitive.
Think of them as blueprints to your successful implementation. For every CVD, our engineers create detailed design and implementation guides that use Cisco and our partners’ products to address critical business needs. We then engineer, test, and validate each design for our customers’ industry-specific requirements, to guide their own deployments.
