Cisco IOS software, Cisco offers the industry’s
most robust and adaptable security solution
for branch office routers. The optional VPN
modules support 3DES, AES, and hardware-
based compression. Additionally, the new
Cisco Intrusion Detection System (IDS) network
module allows traffic inspection at the first
point of entry into the network while freeing the
router CPU from processor-intensive IDS tasks.

Multiservice Voice/Data Networks

Supports up to 90 simultaneous calls, using
analog and digital connections to phones,
faxes, key systems, PBXs, and PSTN switches,
for Cisco IP telephony networks. Delivers
IP telephony enriching features including
Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), Cisco
CallManager Express (CCME) for localized call
processing, Cisco Unity™ Express (CUE) for
voice-mail, audioconferencing and transcoding
capabilities. Using Cisco IOS quality-of-service
(QoS) features, such as LLQ, CB-WFQ, WRED,
CAR, RSVP, and Custom and Priority Queuing,
voice traffic is digitized and encapsulated in IP
packet, Frame Relay, or ATM and consolidated
with data to extend multiservice infrastructure
to the branch office.

Business-class DSL Connectivity

The WIC-1ADSL, WIC-1ADSL-DG, WIC-1ADSL-
I-DG, WIC-1SHDSL, and WIC-1SHDSL-V2 offer
business-class broadband service with scalable
performance, flexibility, quality of service, and
security for branch and regional offices. The
