This solution is ideal for customers who want to decrease costs and complexity by converging voice and data networks. By adding a Cisco Unity™ Express advanced integration module (AIM) or network module to this solution, small offices and branch offices can take advantage of a complete, all-in-one data, voice-processing, voice-mail, and auto-attendant system. For larger, centralized IP Communications deployments, customers can deploy Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) in their Cisco 3800 Series routers with a central Cisco CallManager for highly scalable, highly available enterprise IP Communications. SRST is an important component of the Cisco end-to-end IP telephony offering, providing feature-rich call-processing redundancy, while taking advantage of the existing infrastructure at the branch office.

Cisco 3800 Series routers also feature the widest range of voice-gateway interfaces, scaling to meet the needs of the smallest to largest branch requirements for voice termination densities using a combination of network modules, extension voice modules (EVMs), voice interface cards (VICs), voice/WAN interface cards (VWICs), and onboard packet voice DSP modules (PVDMs). Customers have unprecedented scalability for supporting up to 24 T1/E1 trunks and 88 foreign-exchange-station (FXS) ports for analog phones, fax machines, key systems, and conference stations.

Integrated Services

Unique integrated services architecture of the Cisco 3800 Series, customers can now securely deploy IP Communications with traditional IP routing and still leave the network-module slots available for additional advanced services. With the optional integration of a wide array of services modules, the Cisco 3800 offers the ability to easily integrate the functions of standalone network appliances and components into the Cisco 3800 Series chassis itself. Many of these network modules, such as the Cisco Network Analysis, Cisco Intrusion Detection System, and Cisco Content Engine network modules, have embedded processors and hard drives that allow them to run largely independently of the router, while allowing their management from a single management interface. This flexibility greatly expands the potential applications of the Cisco 3800 Series beyond traditional routing while still maintain the benefits of integration: ease of management, lower solution costs, and increased speed of deployment.

Primary Features And Benefits

The global economy is increasingly reliant on networked enterprise applications and the Internet as indispensable tools for tackling urgent business challenges.
