Cisco 881
is STILL HERE AFTER EoL and EoS Notices for Main Cisco 800 Series Items. The
Cisco 880 Series is ideally suited for deployment in a small office or in a
small office that is part of a large network, most often with a secure VPN
connection.
These types of offices can include the following:
• Small remote office: The Cisco 880 Series can connect
users in a small remote office, such as an insurance, lawyer, or sales office.
When connecting to the main office, VPN encryption and integrated security such
as firewall and intrusion prevention protect the network at the perimeter. The
Cisco 880 with the Cisco Unified Border Element Series can also support
connection to SIP trunking voice-over-IP (VoIP) services provided by the
service provider. Additionally, IT managers can centrally manage the remote
site to quickly troubleshoot any network problems. For added reliability,
customers can also use the integrated 3G or ISDN backup or connect through an
external modem if the primary broadband link fails. Integrated secure unified
WLAN connectivity simplifies the deployment and management devices at the
remote site. Redundant WAN links offer business continuity, enabling
nondisruptive business operation.
• Virtual office: The Cisco 880 Series is ideal for
corporate teleworkers who have a mix of broadband connection types such as DSL,
3G, and Metro Ethernet. The Cisco 880 Voice gateway and SRST Series provides a
secure virtual office with all the collaborative services such as data, voice,
and fax services. SRST helps ensure voice services are operational in case of
WAN link failure, and redundant WAN links help ensure business continuity. QoS
features in the Cisco 880 Series allow for connection of an IP or analog phone
to the router, giving voice traffic precedence over data applications.
Integrated WLAN support in the Cisco 880 Series helps ensure that if wireless
connectivity is used it is secure. (Refer to the Cisco Virtual Office Solution, http://www.cisco.com/go/cvo, for more information.)
• Remote call-center agent: Similar to teleworking
applications, this solution extends the Cisco IP Contact Center solution for
telephone call-center agents to remote sites. With a high-quality, secure
connection through the Cisco 880 Series, call-center agents can be dispersed
away from costly call-center facilities while maintaining secure and productive
voice and data access in their homes. SRST and business-continuity solutions in
the Cisco 880 Series provide reliability and continuous business operation.
Alternatively, the remote call-center agent can be provided with SIP trunking
service with service demarcation provided by Cisco Unified Border Element
features and the central call center can forward calls to the remote
call-center agent through the remote-office SIP trunk.
• Retail VPN: Retail stores migrating from
dialup connections for point-of-sale transactions can use the Cisco 880 Series
to take advantage of low-cost broadband access with the required security to
comply with payment-card-industry (PCI) and other data security requirements.
They can then add multiple devices and applications 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 880 Series as a platform to offer differentiated
business-class security, voice, and WLAN services for small business customers.
With built-in analog and digital voice ports and the ability to upgrade to a 5
user Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express IP PBX, service providers can
now offer all the Unified communications benefits to small and medium
businesses. The SIP trunking connectivity features of the Cisco 880 with Cisco
Unified Border Element Series Router can provide the high-quality VoIP service
needed through the service provider cloud.

A Summary
of Cisco 880 Series Router
Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers
combine increased network performance with advanced security to allow
small-office customers to get the most from their broadband connections for
both data and voice applications. With models supporting different broadband
technologies such as DSL, 3G, and Metro Ethernet, the Cisco 880 Series can be
deployed at any small-office location. Optional integrated 802.11g/n wireless
capabilities provide true business-class WAN and WLAN access in a single
solution. With the Cisco 880 Series, enterprise IT managers and service
providers can take advantage of a solution that can be easily set up at the
remote site and can be centrally managed to reduce ongoing operational costs.
Here
let’s have an OVERVIEW on the Cisco 881/k9:
Cisco 881-K9, hot Ethernet security router,
