Cisco 1941W Enables Borderless Networks at the Branch

The Cisco 1941W Integrated Services Router (ISR) delivers highly secure data, mobility, and application services.

Cisco 1941W is a true solution in terms of delivering pure security for your transmitted data, application as well as for security of your mobility over wired or especially designed wireless network whether it is at home or the network is prepared for your small office. This ISR router of 1900 series has Ethernet ports (2 same ports) of 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps speed.

Cisco 1941W router also comes with (e)HWIC’s 2 slots that are able of supporting or hosting 1 single wide Enhanced High-Speed WAN Interface Card as well as of 2 single wide or you may say 1 double wide card. Wireless Access Point is also supported by 1941W router through built-in 802.11n technology. Power distribution is also fully integrated to this router just to support Cisco Enhanced Power of Ethernet as well as 802.3a PoE.

VPN encryption through accelerated hardware (embedded hardware rather) is also supported by Cisco 1941W Integrated Services Router and this 1900 series’ router has identity management support as well which is normally done through public key infrastructure’s usage as well as through the usage of authorization, authentication and accounting method i.e. “AAA”.

Integrated threat control functionality of Cisco 1941W is as same as it is seen in 1941 router of 1900 series who provides it (threat control functionality) through IOS IPS of Cisco, IOS Zone-Based Firewall of Cisco, IOS Content Filtering of Cisco and finally IOS Firewall of Cisco. Mobility in this router is supported through 5 GHz mode of 802.11a/n as well as through 2.4 GHz mode of 801.11/b/g/n of radio signals.
