Cisco 880 series integrated services router is a fixed-configuration router that provides collaborative business solution for secure voice and data communication to small businesses and enterprise teleworkers. The router provides the performance required for concurrent services, including firewall, intrusion prevention, content filtering, and encryption for VPNs and quality-of-service (QoS) features for optimizing voice and video applications. In addition, the web-based Cisco Configuration Professional configuration tool (CCP) simplifies setup and deployment. Centralized management capabilities give network managers visibility and control of the network configurations at the remote site.
Small remote office
The Cisco 880 series can connect users in a small remote office, such as an insurance, lawyer, or sales office. When connecting to the main office, VPN encryption and integrated security such as firewall and intrusion prevention protect the network at the perimeter. The Cisco 880 CUBE series can also support connection to SIP trunking VOIP services provided by the service provider. Additionally, IT managers can centrally manage the remote site to quickly troubleshoot any network problems. Integrated secure unified WLAN connectivity simplifies the deployment and management devices at the remote site. Redundant WAN links offer business continuity, enabling non-disruptive business operation.
Remote call-center agent
Similar to teleworking applications, this solution extends the Cisco IP Contact Center solution for telephone call-center agents to remote sites. With a high-quality, secure connection through the Cisco 880 series, call-center agents can be dispersed away from costly call-center facilities while maintaining secure and productive voice and data access in their home. Alternatively, the remote call-center agent can be provided with SIP trunking service with service demarcation provided by CUBE features and the central call center can forward calls to the remote call-center agent through the remote office SIP trunk.
Managed services
Service providers and value-added resellers can use the Cisco 880 series as a platform to offer differentiated business-class security, voice and WLAN services for small business customers. The SIP trunking connectivity features of the Cisco 880 CUBE series router can provide the high quality VOIP service needed through the SP cloud.
