The software-
locking mechanism allows Cisco customers to negotiate special “business” or “enterprise” rate 
plans and discounts from the service providers. 
● 
USB solutions can’t support the current or future speeds of cellular networks, don’t work with a variety of 
antennas, and do not support Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. 
Q.  What are some other reasons that Cisco solutions outshine external modem options? 
A.  Here are a few: 
● 
Cisco 4G-LTE solutions are certified with more than 100 carriers worldwide. 
● 
Cisco supports an extensive portfolio of VPN technologies including IP Security (IPsec) VPN, Easy VPN, 
Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), and others. 
● 
Our 4G-LTE solution supports split tunneling; cloud offerings such as ScanSafe; and rich services such as 
Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS), Cisco Performance Routing (PfR), IP service-level 
agreements (IP SLAs), and Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC). 
Product and Technology Compatibilities 
Q.  Is 4G-LTE supported on the first-generation ISRs? 
A.  No, 4G-LTE is supported only on second-generation ISRs (Cisco 1900, 2900, and 3900 Series ISRs) and later 
platforms, such as the and Cisco 4000 (4300 and 4400) Series ISRs. It is not supported on the first-generation 
ISR routers such as the Cisco 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series or earlier. Built-in connections, however, are 
available on non-
modular (‘fixed”) 819, 880, and 890 series ISRs. 
Q.  What 4G-LTE frequencies and bands are supported? 
A.  The 4G-LTE solution is a multimode LTE device. It supports various LTE, 3G, and 2G mode frequency 
combinations depending on the specific SKU. For exact details per SKU, please refer to Table 1 in the data 
. 
Q.  What antennas and accessories do I need for 4G-LTE to work? 
A.  By default, 4G-LTE NIMs, EHWICs, and routers ship with two dipole antennas and one 10-foot extender. 
Depending on your placement of the router, an extended antenna and cable may be required for optimal 
cellular signal reception. Cisco offers three additional types: ceiling mount, panel mount, and omnidirectional 
outdoor antennas with a coaxial cable up to 75 feet in length. Exact SKU and ordering details are listed at 
. 
Q.  Does the Cisco 4G-LTE solution work on older networks such as 3G and 2G services? 
A.  As a multimode solution, Cisco 4G-LTE interfaces can fall back to 3G or 2G networks as per availability and 
coverage of your service provider. On the Verizon network, for example, Cisco 4G-LTE can fall back to 1x 
Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO) and 2G (1xRTT) networks. Similarly, on AT&T and global networks, it can 
fall back from 4G-LTE to Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) networks.
