Cisco ISR 2900 Series Integrated Services Routers

The Cisco 2900 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR G2) offer high-speed data, security, voice, and video services in a single, resilient platform. Designed to power the next phase of branch-office evolution, these routers feature multicore CPUs, Gigabit Ethernet switching with enhanced PoE, and energy monitoring capabilities to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).

The 2900 series introduces the Multigigabit Fabric (MGF), allowing high-speed module-to-module communication that bypasses the main CPU, significantly enhancing throughput. With the Services Ready Engine (SRE), administrators can deploy software-based services on demand, decoupling hardware deployment from software delivery. Integrated hardware-based encryption acceleration supports secure VPN connectivity, while the universal Cisco IOS software image provides a future-proof foundation for evolving network requirements.

Key Specifications:

• Modularity: Wide range of slots for EHWIC, Service Modules (SM), and Internal Services Slots (ISM).

• Connectivity: Integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet WAN ports with SFP options on higher models.

• Voice Excellence: TDM switching fabric and high-density DSP (PVDM3) support for HD video and voice.

• Security: Hardware acceleration for IPSec and SSL VPNs, compatible with Cisco IOS Security license.

• Reliability: Optional RPS support and NEBS-compliant designs for industrial and central office environments.
