Mobile and remote access (feature preview)
Cisco Unified Communications mobile and remote access is a core part of the Cisco Collaboration Edge
Architecture. It allows endpoints such as Cisco Jabber to have their registration, call control, provisioning,
messaging and presence services provided by Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) when
the endpoint is not within the enterprise network. The Expressway provides secure firewall traversal and line-
side support for Unified CM registrations.

the endpoint is not within the enterprise network. The Expressway provides secure firewall traversal and line-

The overall solution provides:
n
Off-premise access: a consistent experience outside the network for Jabber and EX/MX/SX Series clients
n
Security: secure business-to-business communications
n
Cloud services: enterprise grade flexibility and scalable solutions providing rich WebEx integration and
Service Provider offerings.

Note that third-party SIP or H.323 devices can register to a Cisco VCS connected via a neighbor zone to a
Cisco Expressway and, if necessary, interoperate with Unified CM-registered devices over a SIP trunk.
