General Description
The Cisco 819 Integrated Services Router, part of the Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2
(ISR G2) Family designed in compact hardened and non-hardened form factors, is the smallest Cisco
IOS Software router with support for integrated fourth-generation (4G LTE) and third-generation (3G)
wireless WAN (mobile broadband backhaul). The 3G Cisco 819 now supports Dual 802.11 a/b/g/n radios
WiFi. The Cisco 819 ISR machine-to-machine gateway provides a rapidly deployable, highly available,
reliable, and secure solution into machine-to-machine applications for financial, telemetry, utility , retail ,
industrial automation, and transportation with comprehensive management capability. Transparently
integrated into Cisco IOS Software as an enterprise-class feature, the Cisco 819 Hardened ISR provides
highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes across
wired and wireless links.
Available in both non-hardened (Cisco 819G) and hardened (Cisco 819HG) versions, the Cisco 819
supporting 4G LTE and 3G wireless WAN (WWAN) speeds offers a cost-effective, rapidly deployable,
reliable, and secure primary or backup solution. With support for industrial-grade components, the
hardened Cisco 819HG extends the ISR machine-to-machine gateway footprint and provides the
flexibility for deployment in many different stationary and mobile environments where space, heat
dissipation, exposure to extreme temperatures, harsher environments, and low power consumption are
critical factors. For mobile applications, Mobile IP delivers transparent roaming across multiple wireless
networks capable of covering wide geographic areas.
The Cisco 819 ISR is a standard form factor with a commercial operating range. The 3G Cisco 819 ISRs
support the 3G speeds (High-Speed PacketAccess Plus [HSPA+] enabling up to 4G speeds and Evolution
Data Optimized [EVDO Rev A]). They are backward-compatible with High-Speed Packet Access
(HSPA), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS), Enhanced Data Rates for Global
Evolution (EDGE), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), and EVDO Rev 0/1xRTT.
The 4G LTE C819 supports the latest Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8 LTE
standards. The Cisco 4G multimode LTE WWAN C819 pro vides persistent and reliable L TE connecti vity
with fallback and transparent handoff to earlier technologies. The Cisco 819HG-4G and Cisco 819G-4G
support multimode 4G LTE and have embedded Sierra Wireless multimode modem.
The Cisco 819 ISR is a desktop form factor with built-in wall-mount features, floor mount, and DIN rail
mount features in selected SKUs. These routers are powered by an external AC power or optional DC
adapter. Figure1-5 shows the Cisco 819HG ISR.
Beginning with IOS release 15.2(4)M1, the new 3G Cisco 819HGW and Cisco 819HWD ISRs support
WiFi radios with a higher memory density and a new barrel-type power connector. A Wireless Local
Area Network (WLAN) implements a flexible data communication system frequently augmenting rather
