Ideal platform
for integrated
IP telephony
●
Onboard DSPs: Integrated PVDMs support analog voice, digital voice, conferencing, transcoding, and Secure Real-
Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) media while enabling network-module or AIM slots for switching, concurrent
applications, content, and voicemail. The DSPs enable packet voice technologies, including voice-over-IP (VoIP)
protocols such as H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), and SIP; voice over Frame Relay (VoFR); and
voice over ATM (VoATM, including ATM Adaption Layer 5 [AAL5] and AAL2 adaptation layers).
●
The platform offers scalability for centralized and distributed call processing:
SRST with centralized Cisco Unified Communications Manager: Up to 730 phones
Cisco Unity Express [[cannot use this acronym for legal reasons]] voicemail: Up to 250 mail boxes
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express IP Phones: Up to 250 IP phones
Small to large branch-office connectivity: Up to 24 T1/E1 trunks
Analog phones, fax machines, key systems, and conference stations: Up to 88 FXS ports
Local or long-distance calling with the EVM module: Up to 48 foreign-exchange-office (FXO) or 32 Basic Rate
Interface (BRI) ports
●
Cisco IOS Software delivers customized features and applications, such as Tool Command Language (TCL) and
VoiceXML support.
●
Secure calls are possible with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco IP Phones using the Cisco 3800:
Offers standards-based, secure media and signaling authentication and encryption from IP phone to IP phone, IP
phone to analog phone or public-switched-telephone-network (PSTN) gateway using IPsec, Transport Layer
Security (TLS), and SRTP
Maintains channel capacity for medium- and high-complexity codecs
Integrated wireless
support
●
WWAN connectivity:
Cisco 3G Wireless WAN HWICs, when coupled with a service provider wireless data plan, provide a cost-effective,
rapidly deployable, reliable, and secure backup solution for remote sites and branch offices.
Two types of Cisco 3G Wireless WAN HWICs are available: Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA; part number
HWIC-3G-CDMA-x [where x reflects the wireless carrier]) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM;
part number HWIC-3G-GSM).
●
WLAN connectivity:
You can use the 802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g HWIC access-point interface card to provide integrated WLAN
connectivity to mobile clients at sites requiring a single access point, resulting in mobility and enhanced productivity
for your employees.
Dual RP-TNC connectors enable diversity and allow for optimum coverage through the use of external antennas.
●
Wireless infrastructure services:
Telephony support for wired and WLAN IP phones is delivered by Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express
(CME) or by Cisco Unified SRST with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Cordless WLAN IP phones allow
you to be mobile and more productive.
Integrated switch modules with PoE enable support for 802.3af-compliant devices such as wireless access points
and wired IP phones.
Mobility for clients from WLAN to cellular networks is enabled by mobile IP home agent support.
IEEE 802.1x local authentication using Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) provides enhanced
reliability through survivable authentication for WLAN clients during WAN failures.
Customizable guest access is enabled with the service-selection-gateway features, along with the Cisco Subscriber
Edge Services Manager.
●
LMRoIP:
LMRoIP support allows radio users (for example, security personnel, maintenance personnel, police officers, etc.)
to communicate over IP with phone and PC users, delivering improved communications and productivity.
●
Wi-Fi hotspot services:
You can use the access-zone router and service-selection-gateway services features to deploy secure public
WLAN access services with an integrated HWIC access point for small sites or with Cisco access points for larger
sites. You can offer Wi-Fi hotspot services for additional revenue for public locations (for example, restaurants,
hotels, airports, etc.) or a value-added service for customer satisfaction.
Application Integration AXP capabilities of the ISRs improves total cost of ownership (TCO) for deployed branch-office applications by enabling
complete, unified solutions. Enterprises, managed service providers (MSPs), and integrators can use AXP to:
Integrate custom applications and services into the integrated services routers
Differentiate themselves from their competitors
Provide complete end-to-end integrated single-box solutions
Investment protection Field-upgradable, modular components are supported on the Cisco 3800 Series, allowing you to easily change network
interfaces without upgrading your entire branch-office network. The Cisco 3800 Series takes advantage of the existing
portfolio of WICs, VICs, network modules, and AIMs to reduce sparing, training, configuration, installation, and
maintenance costs.
