Summary/Conclusion
Bandwidth requirements continue to rise at businesses of all sizes, and convergence of data, voice, and video on
these single pipes requires more intelligent solutions. As companies strive to lower the costs of running their
networks and to increase the productivity of their end users with network applications, broadband connectivity is
increasingly a core requirement for businesses of every size. The Cisco Cable HWICs enable a higher level of
physical and logical security, provide advanced QoS for IP Communications, easy expandability, higher availability,
and simplified management for SMBs and enterprise branch offices. By integrating the Cable HWIC into existing or
new Cisco IOS Software-based routers, the Cisco Cable HWICs can help businesses of all sizes avoid expensive
private circuit upgrades and allow cable operators to reach a broader set of customers and provide increasing levels
of advanced managed services in a cost-effective manner.
