Converged IP Communications
The Cisco 1861E Integrated Services Router can meet the IP communications needs of SMB and enterprise branch
offices while concurrently delivering an industry-leading level of security within a single communications system.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CME) runs natively on Cisco IOS
®
Software on the Cisco 1861E
and provides call processing for Cisco IP phones. This solution is targeted at customers who are interested in
deploying a converged IP telephony solution for up to 15 IP phones and need an integrated WAN for data
connectivity. Figure 2 illustrates the Cisco Unified CME application for a standalone business using the Cisco 1861E
Integrated Services Router. With the Cisco 1861E, you can securely deploy data, voice, and IP telephony on a
single platform for your small to medium-sized branch offices, helping them streamline their operations and lower
their network costs.
As the enterprise extends its IP telephony deployments from central sites to remote offices, one of the critical factors
in achieving a successful deployment is the ability to support backup call control at the remote branch office. Cisco
Unified SRST provides a cost-effective solution for supporting redundant call control in the remote branch office.
