Routers & Gateways

Rugged, IP67-rated, 5G router that's fully modular and multi-access capable, allowing you to converge technologies as they evolve.

The Cisco® Catalyst® IR8100 Heavy Duty Series Router is Cisco's most versatile 5G multiaccess outdoor industrial router. Its flexible and highly modular form factor makes it an ideal solution for remote asset management across multiple industrial markets.

? Other than GPS/GNSS built into the base chassis to track the router's location, all the electronics of the router are fully modular - from the supervisor module to the radio modules, power supply, and battery kit - to address a variety of use cases and help ensure a long chassis life. The IR8100's IP67/NEMA Type 4 enclosure is designed to withstand hostile environments, including shock, vibration, dust, salt, and fog. The IR8100 also supports a wide temperature range of -40° to 70°C (-140° to 158°F) standard operation and is type-tested at 85°C (185°F). This durability, coupled with a battery backup for use during extended outages and multiple backhaul connectivity options, makes this router the ideal choice for any application that needs secure, reliable connectivity in a harsh environment, such as utilities, cities, transportation, oil and gas, and mining.

The Cisco® 500 WPAN Industrial Router (IR500) provides unlicensed 915-MHz, ISM-band wireless personal-area network (WPAN) communications to diverse Internet of things (IoT) applications. Among the IoT apps supported are smart grid, distribution automation (DA), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). The router supplies enterprise-class RF mesh connecitivity to IPv4 and serial IoT devices, including recloser control, cap bank control, voltage regulator controls, and other remote terminal units (RTUs). Purpose-built to withstand harsh environments, the IR500 is ideal for installations in pad-mount and pole-mount cabinets and in other demanding locations.

The IR500 provides an open RF mesh solution based on the following standards: IEEE 802.15.4 g/e, IETF 6LoWPAN, IETF Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL), IETF Mapping of Address and Port-Translation (MAP-T), and IETF Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). It takes full advantage of worldclass Cisco networking capabilities in IPv6, security, legacy (serial) protocol transport, and network management.

Cisco Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Series Routers deliver performance, security, and flexibility to help you accelerate your digitization journey at the edge.

The Cisco® Carrier Routing System (CRS) offers industry-leading performance, advanced services intelligence, environmentally conscious design, and system longevity. The Cisco CRS is powered by the Cisco QuantumFlow ArrayTM, a chipset architecture based on multidimensional engineering and Cisco IOS® XR Software, a unique self-healing, distributed operating system.

Packet-based data communications are being replaced by video and interactive multimedia traversing the IP Next- Generation Network (NGN) in multiple directions, straining the architectural foundations of both public and private networks serving businesses and consumers. As part of the medianet, a media-aware Cisco IP NGN, the Cisco CRS delivers continuous, always-on operations and scales easily from numerous single-chassis form factors to a massive multichassis system. Its design provides an industry-leading efficiency, consuming very low power, cooling and rack-space resources for an intelligent and comprehensive service bandwidth capacity.
