CPE Frequently Asked Questions
Q) Can ISR G1 (1800, 2800, 3800) support embedded LTE interfaces?
A) No. The G1 models were announced as end-of-sale on November 1, 2010; hardware and software maintenance
ended in 2014. The current ISR models (809, 819, 829, 1900, 2900, 3900, 4321, 4331, 4451) support embedded LTE
interfaces.

interfaces.
Q) Can ISR G2 embedded LTE interfaces support external antennas, GPS, clock sync via GPS, remote monitoring
and configuration via SMS, and detailed LTE radio statistics?
and configuration via SMS, and detailed LTE radio statistics?
A) Yes. See the guides at

cards/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html
Q) Does the ISR 4000 series support modules for embedded LTE and the same functions as ISR G2 with LTE?
A) Yes, the ISR 4321, 4331, 4351, 4431 and 4451 support one or more LTE NIMs (Network Interface Module).
Q) Are there hardened (for temperature, weather and vibration) models of the ISR G2 with embedded LTE?
A) Yes, the IR809, IR829, C819HG-4G-V, CGR-1240 and CGR-2010.
Q) Can multiple LTE interfaces be used on a single ISR?
A) Yes, on all modular ISRs (1900, 2900. 3900, 4300, 4400) as many as the number of eHWIC/NIM slots on the ISR.
Q) Can multiple ISRs with LTE be used in active/backup or in parallel?
A) Yes. ISRs support HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP.
Q) Can Meraki support LTE interfaces?
A) Yes, on MX series appliances; they are not embedded; support is via LTE USB modem. Only embedded LTE
interfaces are support on Verizon PN; the MX with LTE USB modem can be used with Verizon LTE public service.
