Cisco 3800 Series

Based on 20 years of innovation,Cisco 3800 Integrated Services Routers extend Cisco’ leadership in multi service routing by providing customers with unparalleled network agility,performance,and intelligence.The Cisco 3800 Series is the flagship platform in a portfolio of next-generation routers that integrate advancedtechnologies,adaptive services,and secure enterprise communications.These new routers offer the performance and reliable packet delivery necessary todeliver mission-critical network capabilities efficiently,including real-time applications such as voice over IP (VoIP),business video,and collaborative communications.Architectural enhancements include embedded security processing,significant platform performance and memory improvements, and new high-density interface types.These design achievements complement the Cisco IOS Software features and superior investment protection that this platform inherits from the Cisco3700 Series.

The Cisco 3800 Series,comprised of the Cisco 3825 and Cisco 3845,serves as acatalyst for mid size organizations and enterprise branch offices that want to gracefully scale their enterprise edges and take advantage of converged business services, while minimizing the cost and complexity of network upgrades


Benefits and Advantages

Enhanced Architecture

The Cisco 3800 Series offers two modular platforms optimized for the secure delivery of concurrent voice,video,and data.The integrated services architecture of the Cisco 3800 Series builds on the highly successful Cisco 3700 Series design,and adds embedded security and voice processing to a highly modular system that is optimized for rapid deployment of intelligent network services and converged communications.The Cisco 3800 Series supports the bandwidth requirements for multiple Fast Ethernet interfaces per slot,time division multiplexing (TDM)interconnections,and fully integrated power distribution to modules supporting 802.3af Power over Ethernet (LD2409)while supporting the existing portfolio of modular interfaces.

Integrated Switching

With support for up to 112 ports of integrated switching with inline power,the Cisco 3800 Series offers an excellent platform for combining two of the most common components of any network infrastructure.The Cisco 3800 Series supports the 16-,24-,and 48-port Cisco Ether Switch® Service Network Modules which adhere to the 802.3af (PoE) standard.When partnered with the optional internal power supply upgrade,the Ether Switch Service Network Modules and high-density WAN interface cards(HWICs) power any 802.3af compliant device through their integrated switch ports.
