The Cisco 870 Series is ideal for small remote offices and teleworkers that need to be connected

to larger enterprise networks. When extending corporate networks to numerous remote sites,

network resources must remain secure while giving users access to the same applications found

in a corporate office. This applies to both data and voice applications, where IP phones can be

used to extend a corporate voice extension to the remote office. When users require WLAN

access, visibility and control of network security is even more critical at the remote site. The Cisco

870 Series meets this need with a single device that combines integrated 802.11b/g capabilities

with security features such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), including authentication with IEEE

802.1X with Cisco Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) and Protected EAP (PEAP), and

encryption with WPA Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). (See Wireless Solution overview and

Security Data Sheet for more information).

Service providers and value-added resellers can take advantage of the Cisco 870 Series to

provide a true business-class broadband service. Business customers are using broadband

access to connect to the Internet or to connect offices together, and require a platform

that incorporates security without sacrificing performance. Many of these customers are

connecting computers in offices through WLANs; having a single device for both WAN and WLAN

access provides a new option for managed services. These customers also require a higher level

of support to keep their networks up and running. Services with these customers should be simple

to set up, while allowing a level of remote management and troubleshooting to quickly address

support inquiries. The Cisco 870 Series meets the requirements of small offices and managed

services providers.
