VoiceXML Application Services
The Cisco 2900 Series also supports standards-certified VoiceXML browser services. VoiceXML is an open-standard
markup language used to create voice-enabled web browsers and IVR applications. Just as HTML enables you to
retrieve data with a PC, VoiceXML enables you to retrieve data using voice or dual-tone-multifrequency (DTMF)
telephony input. The Cisco 2900 Series can deliver a much higher range of concurrent voice-gateway services
combined with VoiceXML browser services, for up to 200 sessions on the Cisco 2951.
Cisco Unified Border Element
The Cisco Unified Border Element capabilities supported on the Cisco 2900 Series address the emerging
requirements in an IP-centric interconnect for branch-office unified communications between enterprises and service
provider networks. Cisco Unified Border Element provides intelligent border-element functions such as physical and
logical ingress and egress demarcation points, signaling and media control, and consolidated security and
management features. The Cisco 2900 Series supports higher scale than previously provided on the Cisco 2800
Series, up to 3 times the number of sessions.
Integrated Network Security for Data, Voice, Video, and Mobility
Security is essential to protect a business’ intellectual property while also ensuring business continuity and providing
the ability to extend the corporate workplace to employees who need anytime, anywhere access to company
resources. As part of the Cisco' SAFE architectural framework that allows organizations to identify, prevent, and
adapt to network security threats, the Cisco 2900 Series Integrated Services Routers facilitate secure business
transactions and collaboration.
The Cisco IOS Software Security technology package for the Cisco 2900 Series offers a wide array of common
security features such as advanced application inspection and control, threat protection, and encryption
architectures for enabling more scalable and manageable VPN networks. The Cisco 2900 Series offers onboard
hardware-based encryption acceleration to provide greater IPSec throughput with less overhead for the route
processor when compared with software-based encryption solutions. Cisco Integrated Services Routers offer a
comprehensive and adaptable security solution for branch offices that includes features such as:
●
Secure connectivity: Secure collaborative communications with Group Encrypted Transport VPN, Dynamic
Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), or Enhanced Easy VPN
●
Integrated threat control: Responding to sophisticated network attacks and threats using Cisco IOS
Firewall, Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall, Cisco IOS IPS, Cisco IOS Content Filtering, and Flexible Packet
Matching (FPM)
●
Identity management: Intelligently protecting endpoints using technologies such as authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) and public key infrastructure (PKI)

Wireless and Mobility Services
Wireless LAN/WAN
The Cisco Integrated Services Routers supporting the Cisco Unified Wireless Architecture enable deployment of
secure, manageable wireless LANs (WLANs) optimized for remote sites and branch offices, including fast secure
mobility, survivable authentication, and simplified management. The Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module on the
Cisco 2900 Series allows small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprise branch offices to cost-
effectively deploy and manage secure WLANs. Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers work in conjunction with Cisco
