Element (CUBE) can be deployed for connecting to service provider Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunk solutions
or across various unified communications solutions. Small offices and branch offices can take advantage of a
complete, all-in-one data, voice-processing, voicemail, and Automated-Attendant system by adding a Cisco Unity
®
Express advanced integration module (AIM) or network module to this solution.
Cisco 3800 Series Routers also feature the widest range of voice-gateway interfaces, scaling to meet the
requirements of all sizes of branch offices for voice termination densities using a combination of SIP trunk software,
network modules, extension voice modules (EVMs), voice interface cards (VICs), voice/WAN interface cards
(VWICs), and onboard packet voice DSP modules (PVDMs). These routers offer scalability to support up to 24
T1/E1 trunks and 88 foreign-exchange-station (FXS) ports for analog phones, fax machines, key systems, and
conference stations.
VoiceXML Solution Infrastructure
The Cisco 3800 Series Routers can interpret VoiceXML documents. VoiceXML is an open-standard markup
language used to create voice-enabled Web browsers and IVR applications. Just as HTML enables users to retrieve
data with a PC, VoiceXML enables subscribers to retrieve data using a telephone set. The accessibility of the
telephone and its ease of use make VoiceXML applications a powerful alternative to HTML for accessing the
information and services that the Internet provides. The Cisco VoiceXML Solution Infrastructure takes advantage of
Cisco 3800 Series DSP resources, signaling, and media-conversion capabilities to execute VoiceXML application
logic at the edge of the network, offloading servers and the network to support unified communications services.
The Cisco 3800 Series running a VoiceXML or TCL application can use Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP)
to control media resources on external media servers, such as speech synthesizers for text-to-speech (TTS) and
speech recognizers for automatic speech recognition (ASR). The ability of this gateway to interact with ASR and TTS
servers provides the capabilities required to satisfy the most demanding and advanced IVR solutions.
Wireless LAN and WAN Services
The Cisco 3800 Series can provide a complete wireless solution for branch offices, companies of all sizes, and Wi-Fi
hotspots. Wireless services enable greater mobility for employees, partners, and customers, resulting in increased
productivity. The Cisco 3800 Series supports an integrated access point for WLAN connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot
services for public access, wireless infrastructure services for cordless WLAN telephony and for larger sites, and
land mobile radio over IP (LMRoIP) for radio users.
The Cisco 3G WWAN High-Speed WAN Interface Cards (HWICs) are tightly integrated with the services provided
on the award-winning Cisco 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers, which deliver secure data, voice, video, and
mobility services. When coupled with a service provider wireless data plan, the Cisco 3G WWAN HWICs provide a
cost-effective, rapidly deployable, reliable, and secure backup solution for remote sites and branch offices. With data
rates exceeding T1 speeds, third-generation (3G) networks provide an alternative to wireline backup solutions such
as ISDN, cable, and DSL. If a network failure occurs, the Cisco integrated services router routes mission-critical data
to the Cisco 3G WWAN HWIC for transmission across the wireless infrastructure. In addition, the router can
distinguish different types of traffic and allow only mission-critical traffic to flow over the backup interface.
Video Surveillance
The Cisco Integrated Video Surveillance solution enables you to rapidly deploy highly distributed IP-enabled video
surveillance at your offices while migrating traditional analog surveillance equipment to IP. Based on Cisco 2800 and
3800 Series Routers, the solution offers the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) for the branch office, ease of
integration through network transparency, reliable data interoperability, and maximized overall security. It allows you
to consolidate costly branch-office servers and deploy new applications centrally while still offering real-time access
to physical security video and data.
