The Cisco® 880G and 890G Series 4G LTE 2.0 Integrated Services Routers with Cisco IOS® Software offer support for integrated fourth-generation (4G LTE) wireless WAN (mobile broadband backhaul), WLAN capabilities (C897VAGW Model) and cutting-edge capabilities. The Cisco 880G and 890G Series ISRs provide a rapidly deployable, highly available, reliable, and secure solution designed to combine Internet access, comprehensive security, and wireless services in a single device that is easy to deploy and manage for primary or backup connectivity (Figure 1). Customers that would benefit from these routers include small businesses, remote small or medium-sized or power branches, financial services firms, healthcare organizations, pop-up stores, point-of-sale systems, and retail businesses. Fully integrated with Cisco IOS Software, the Cisco 880G and 890G routers deliver enterprise-class features, including highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes across wired and wireless links. The best-in-class Cisco 880G and 890G Series architecture is specifically designed to deliver high performance with concurrent services, business continuity, and investment protection. The Cisco 880G and 890G 4G LTE 2.0 series are the industry leader to bring enterprise grade wireline like functionality such as Quality of Service (QoS) for cellular, Multi-Virtual Route Forwarding (Multi-VRF), advanced VPN, and Unified Communications solutions over LTE.

The Cisco® 880G and 890G Series LTE 2.0 routers also provide the ability to extend Cisco product-based networks to remote power branch offices with a relatively low incremental investment, as well as to enable managed services offerings based on end-to-end Cisco system architecture.

Product Overview

The Cisco 880G and 890G Series 4G LTE 2.0 ISRs are fixed-configuration routers that provide collaborative business solutions for secure voice and data communications to enterprise small branch offices, with support for the latest Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 9 standards for 4G LTE. They provide persistent, reliable LTE connectivity with fallback and transparent handoff to earlier technologies. The routers are designed to deliver secure broadband, Metro Ethernet or any xDSL variants, wireless WAN (WWAN) connectivity, and business continuity. Additionally, the Cisco 897VAGW ISR supports enterprise class built-in Wireless LAN (WLAN) capability They also come with powerful management tools, such as the web-based Cisco Configuration Professional configuration management tool, which simplifies setup and deployment.
