Cisco 1900 Routers are designed to meet the application demands of today’s small branches and to evolve to cloud-based services. They took over Cisco 1800 series becoming the most popular Cisco router today.
Cisco 1900 Series ISR include:
- 2 RU and 1 RU units with up to 2 GE integrated WAN ports
- Up to 1 Integrated Service Module (ISM)
- Up to 11 LAN switch ports, two Enhanced High-Speed WAN Interface Card slots
- Hardware accelerated DES, 3DES and AES for IPSec and SSL VPNs
- Integrated 802.11a/g/n access point with 802.11i, WPA and WPA2 for security
- 16 Wireless VLANs and 15 SSIDs
- WAN optimization through WAAS Express
- Secure cloud access with integrated intrusion prevention, content filtering and cloud web security
