Features/description |
Lightweight, compact size with low power consumption |
Can be deployed in many different environments where space, heat dissipation, and low power consumption are critical factors. |
High performance to run concurrent services |
High performance allows customers to take advantage of broadband network speeds while running secure, concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services. |
High availability and business continuity |
Redundant WAN connections for failover protection and load balancing.
Dynamic failover protocols such as Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP; RFC2338), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and Multigroup HSRP (MHSRP).
|
Consistent, high application performance levels |
The router can run multiple services simultaneously with minimal performance degradation. |
Risk mitigation with multilevel security |
Network perimeter security with integrated application inspection firewall.
Data privacy through high-speed IP Security (IPsec) Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.
