Q. Do you support dual SIM cards?

A. We support dual SIM cards only on the Cisco ISR 819 platforms where two cellular service providers are

supported by the same 4G-LTE modem. The Cisco 819 platform has one cellular modem and two SIM

cardslots. In the United States, Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T have dedicated specific SKUs for the modem to

work on their networks. Thus, the Cisco 819 on the AT&T network cannot work on the Verizon or Sprint

network and vice versa. The dual-SIM feature is not supported on a Verizon or AT&T SKU. The modular ISRs

can have multiple NIMs or EHWICs, providing more flexibility than the dual SIM-based solution, so dual SIM is

not supported on the NIM and EHWIC form factors.

Q. Can I use the SIM card from my personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet, or smartphone in the Cisco 4G-LTE

WWAN NIM, EHWIC, or fixed ISR?

A. No. Typically service providers have different data plans for different devices. Check with your service provider

for the appropriate data plans for your usage.

Q. How do I configure the 4G-LTE on a Cisco ISR?

A. The 4G-LTE software installation guide explains how to configure the 4G-LTE interface on a Cisco ISR G2 and

fixed ISRs. You can find the guide at

The NIM configuration for ISR 4000 routers is provided at

Q. Is time-division duplexing LTE (TD-LTE) supported on the Cisco 4G-LTE solution?

A. Current Cisco offerings work only in frequency-division duplexing LTE (FD-LTE) mode on supported

frequencies. TD-LTE will be supported in future products.

Q. Does the Cisco Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMPVN) feature of Cisco Intelligent WAN (IWAN) support

3G/4G/LTE interfaces?

A. Yes, using DMVPN, IWAN allows easy multi-homing over any wired or wireless broadband carrier service

offering.

Q. What features are supported on the Cisco 4G-LTE WWAN NIMs, EHWICs, and fixed ISRs?

A. The following features are supported on the Cisco 4G-LTE WWAN platforms:

●

Cisco Network Mobility (NeMo, Mobile IP, and Mobile Router)

●

2 x 2 MIMO antenna

●

Evolved high-rate packet data (eHRPD) for smooth handover between LTE and EVDO

●

Inter-radio access technology (I-RAT) for smooth handover between LTE, HSPA, and non-3GPP networks

●

4G Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) MIBs

●

Short Message Service (SMS) over IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) using IPv6 IMS bearer; service

provider-dependent

●

Active standalone Global Positioning System (GPS) with external SubMiniature version A (SMA) antenna
