Flexibility and Investment Protection
The Cisco 1-Port ISDN U interface HWIC upholds Cisco's commitment to providing customers with
maximum flexibility and investment protection through modular HWICs that are supported on
award-winning router platforms. When WAN bandwidth requirements or service provider pricing
changes, users can easily change WAN services either by changing the software configuration or
replacing the HWIC. Because the same card can be used on Cisco 1841, 2800, and 3800 Series
router platforms, the number of stocking units can be reduced, and the HWIC can be redeployed
from one platform to another.
Enhanced Reliability
An integrated solution has fewer components and hence, fewer points of failure (for example, one
less power supply and fewer cables). This leads to enhanced reliability.
Converged Platform for SMB and Enterprise Branch Applications
The Cisco 1841, 1941, 2800, 3800, and 3900 Series Integrated Services Routers with the Cisco 1-
Port ISDN U interface HWIC provide customers with a choice of converged platforms that offer
best-of-class data, security, WAN access, and voice services in a single system. The Cisco 2800
and 3800 Series routers and the Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series Routers embed voice functions
directly inside the router, enabling customers to deploy voice services by installing digital signal
processors (DSPs) and advanced integration modules (AIMs) for IP telephony conferencing, voice
gateways, and Cisco Unity® Express voicemail and automated attendant. For call processing,
customers can enable the Cisco Communications Manager Express solution as part of Cisco IOS
Software and reconfigure the same software to support Cisco Survivable Remote Site Telephony
(SRST) for centralized call processing with Cisco Communications Manager. Such an integrated
solution enables rapid service deployment, increases efficiency of network operations, and
provides opportunities to protect, grow, and optimize your business.
Shared Features with Cisco 1-Port ISDN WIC
The Cisco 1-Port ISDN U interface HWIC offers all of the features of the Cisco 1-Port ISDN U
interface WIC (WIC-1B-U-V2) and can be smoothly deployed without any additional training.
