Cisco Channelized T1/E1

Cisco has recently announced The Cisco Connected Grid portfolio of products & solutions designed specifically for a Smart Grid network. These solutions include the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router (CGR 2010) and Cisco 2520 Connected Grid Switch (CGS 2520). These platforms are optimized for use in power substations and meet substation compliance standards including IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850-3. The Cisco Connected Grid portfolio are designed for high availability, integrated security management, and scalability in mind.
The Cisco Channelized T1/E1 and ISDN PRI Rugged WAN interface card (GRWIC) modules are designed for use with the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router (CGR 2010). This rugged router platform is optimized for harsh conditions common in utility substations worldwide. The Cisco Channelized T1/E1 and ISDN PRI Grid Router WAN Interface Cards (GRWICs) combine multiple T1/E1 WAN connectivity-Channelized T1/E1 and ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) in the same card. Applications include fractional or full T1/E1 WAN connectivity, ISDN PRI for primary WAN link or WAN backup, and dial access aggregation. The Cisco C1861-SRST-C-B/K9 supports a one and a two port version of the T1/E1 module in a single-wide GRWIC. The different versions help enable customers to deploy different port densities depending on wide area network needs in utility substation locations.
The modules can be used in T1 or E1 networks, selectable by software configuration. The integrated channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) function allows customers to consolidate customer premises equipment (CPE). The modules support balanced and unbalanced E1 connectivity and conform to the G.703 and G.704 standards for unframed and framed E1 modes.
