Product Overview

The Cisco 805 router can connect a remote office to a corporate office or a small professional office to an Internet service provider (ISP).

In the remote-office-to-corporate-office network, the remote office is typically a small professional office that is part of a larger corporation, such as a real estate office. Although a majority of its data might exist at the remote office itself, the remote office might also need to exchange data with its larger corporate office. As a result, the remote office needs a connection to the corporate office.

In the small-office-to-ISP network, the small office is typically a small, independent professional office, such as a small architectural firm that needs to access information from the Internet.
