their core ATM network infrastructures to deliver scalable, cost-effective services with QoS
guarantees to their customers. Per-virtual-circuit traffic shaping and queuing allows further
optimization of the existing bandwidth between customers and various services.
Table 3 later in this document gives a summary of the ATM features, including QoS and traffic
management capabilities supported on the G.SHDSL HWICs.
Converged Platform for Small to Medium-Sized Business and Enterprise
Branch Applications
The Cisco 1841, 2800, and 3800 Series of Integrated Services Router platforms with the G.SHDSL
HWICs provide customers with a choice of converged platforms that offer best-of-class data,
security, WAN access, and voice services in a single system. The Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series
Routers embed voice functions directly inside the router ,enabling customers to deploy voice
services by installing digital signal processors (DSPs) and advanced integration modules (AIMs)
for IP telephony conferencing, voice gateways, and Cisco Unity

Express voicemail and automated
attendant. For call processing, customers can enable the Cisco Call Manager Express solution as
part of Cisco IOS Software and reconfigure the same software to support Cisco Survivable Remote
Site Telephony (SRST) for centralized call processing with Cisco CallManager. Such an integrated
solution rapidly enables service deployment, increases efficiency of network operations, and
provides opportunities to protect, grow, and optimize the business.
