Retail VPN
Retail stores migrating from dialup connections for point-of-sale transactions can use the 3G wireless option on
the Cisco 880G Series for low-cost broadband access with the required security to comply with payment-card-
industry (PCI) and other data security requirements. Multiple devices and applications can then be added to the
store network to take advantage of the increased bandwidth and also incorporate optional WLAN support to
enable secure mobility and enhance productivity.
Managed Services
Service providers and value-added resellers can use the Cisco 880G Series as a platform to offer differentiated
business-class security and WLAN services for small to medium-sized business customers. Superior
management capabilities such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support with 3G MIB and Cisco
Configuration Professional make remote management and provisioning easier.
Key Features and Benefits
Integrated 3G WWAN broadband: With the 3G WWAN modem integrated into the router, you gain the
●
benefit of simplified installation and management. In addition, the Cisco 3G WWAN are tightly integrated
with Cisco integrated services routers, which run the industry-leading Cisco IOS
access to all the advanced features of Cisco IOS Software such as quality of service (QoS), intelligent
network queuing, and robust security.
Short installation time: Businesses sometimes wait for weeks or months to get data circuits installed at
●
new locations. For temporary or seasonal sites, wireless data services allow instant connectivity anywhere
there is cellular coverage, and rapid deployment allows you to quickly set up networks with WAN
connectivity.
Network resiliency through WAN diversity: WAN connectivity is crucial to the functioning of your
●
business, and any downtime means a loss of productivity and lost opportunity. Staying connected and
operational during a network outage can be vital. A wireless connection for backup to a remote site
provides protection against line outages and an additional level of redundancy because the 3G WWAN
infrastructure is often served by separate facilities, providing redundancy for the entire local loop.
Reduced cost: The emerging 3G WWAN cellular data service plans are competitively priced with existing
●
wireline services (ISDN, DSL, and cable). 3G WWAN solutions also allow you to consolidate your service
providers across large geographical areas instead of having service contracts with multiple service
providers.
Portability: Cisco 880 with 3G WWAN can be easily relocate wherever coverage is available.
●
Performance: With increasing data usage and the proliferation of web-based applications at remote sites,
●
there is an increasing need for high-speed (broadband) data connections to run mission-critical
applications at these sites. 3G WWAN services promise low-latency links at speeds approaching T1
connections, allowing you to send and receive more mission-critical data across the WAN in backup
scenarios.
