Additional Information

Applications

The Cisco 870 Series is ideally suited to be deployed where a small office is going to be connected to a larger network, most often with a secure VPN connection. These types of offices can include the following:

• Small Remote Office: Connects users in a small remote office, such as insurance agents, lawyer offices, or sales offices. When connecting to the main office, VPN encryption and integrated security such as firewall, and intrusion prevention protect the network at every perimeter. IT managers can centrally manage the remote site to quickly troubleshoot any network issues. For added reliability, customers can also use dial backup, through an external modem, should the primary broadband link fail. Integrated secure WLAN connectivity simplifies the number of devices that need to be managed at the remote site.

• Teleworking: The Cisco 870 Series is ideal for corporate teleworkers who may have a mix of broadband connection types to choose from. A platform such as the Cisco 870 Series gives IT managers a standard platform to manage at the employee’s home office. QoS features in the Cisco 870 Series allow an IP phone to be connected to the router, giving voice traffic precedence over data applications. Integrated WLAN support in the Cisco 870 Series helps ensure that if wireless connectivity is to be used, it can be done securely. (See Cisco Business Ready Teleworker Solutions for more information.)

• Remote Call Center Agent: Similar to teleworking applications, this solution extends the Cisco IP Contact Center solution for telephone call center agents to remote sites. With a high-quality, secure connection through the Cisco 870 Series, the call center agent can be dispersed away from costly call center facilities while maintaining secure and productive voice and data access in their home. (See Cisco Call Center Solutions for more information.)

• Retail VPN: Retail stores migrating from dialup connections for point of sales transactions can use the Cisco 870 Series to take advantage of low-cost broadband access with the required security to effectively use these public networks. Multiple devices and applications can then be added to the store network to take advantage of the increased bandwidth and also incorporate optional WLAN support to enable secure mobility and enhance productivity.

• Managed Services: Service providers and value-added resellers can use the Cisco 870 Series as a platform to offer differentiated business class security and WLAN services for small to medium business customers.
