Cisco Routers

A router transfers data between networks, and there are a number of Cisco routers and routing systems on the market. The most important function in a router is security, but you also want superior flexibility and functionality. Space requirements may also demand that you find a router that is compact, yet can handle all of your network needs.

The Cisco 3800 Series Integrated Service Routers offer concurrent voice, data, and video functions. High-density interfaces offer top performance and high speeds, as well as reliability. This series was designed to support demanding business environments. Network analysis, IP telephony and business video are some of the functions that are handled easily and safely by this series. The Cisco 1721 works especially well for data-access applications, and the Cisco 2621 is a multi-service router with fast Ethernet ports. The Cisco 2561 is another multi-functional router that can handle a number of simultaneous demands. NIC stands for "network interface cards" and Cisco has routers that leverage this technology.

The Cisco 2800 Series is for small-to-medium sized businesses. Built on the 2600 platform, this series offers improved speed, while balancing density and security requirements. Included are firewall protection and URL filtering. This series supports wireless LAN networks. These routers have a pre-installed Cisco router and security device manager, for fast configuration.

Cisco 1800 Series routers are powered by Cisco IOS software. These routers offer hardware encryption acceleration, firewall protection and network admission control. Cisco also offers a number of other routers that work for all types of business network needs, from telecommuting situations to branch office support to large enterprise capabilities. All take security and firewall protection very seriously, while maximizing performance and speed.
