Cisco 819 Integrated Services Routers with
3G and Wi-Fi
Enabling Machine-to-Machine Applications
The Cisco
®
819 Integrated Services Router Family, designed in compact hardened and non-hardened form factors,
is the smallest Cisco IOS
®
Software router with support for integrated third-generation (3G) wireless WAN (mobile
broadband backhaul) and WLAN capabilities. The Cisco 819 ISR gateway provides a rapidly deployable, highly
available, reliable, and secure solution designed specifically for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. Markets
that benefit from these applications include industrial automation, transportation, financial, health care, utility, and
retail. Fully integrated with Cisco IOS Software, the Cisco 819 family delivers, enterprise-class features, including
highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes across wired and
wireless links. Figure 1 shows a Cisco 819 Integrated Services Router.

The Cisco 819 ISR is available in both non-hardened (Cisco 819G) and hardened (Cisco 819HG) versions. Both
models include support for 3G up to 3.7G wireless WAN (WWAN) speeds. Support for 3G offers cost-effective,
rapidly deployable, reliable, and secure primary or backup connectivity. With support for industrial-grade
components, the hardened Cisco 819HG extends the footprint and provides deployment flexibility. The Cisco
819HG is an ideal solution for stationary and mobile environments where space, heat dissipation, exposure to
extreme temperatures, harsher environments, and low power consumption are critical factors.
For mobile applications, Cisco Mobile IP delivers transparent roaming across multiple wireless networks capable of
covering wide geographic areas. Additionally, the Cisco 819 ISR supports enterprise class built-in Wireless LAN
(WLAN) capability. The Cisco 819HGW platforms concurrently support both 3G for wireless WAN backhaul and
