Business-Class DSL and Ethernet Connectivity

The Cisco 1801, 1802, and 1803 routers combine the cost benefits of DSL service with the

advanced routing capability required for business use of the Internet. These products are available

as ADSL over POTS (Cisco 1801), ADSL over ISDN (Cisco 1802), or G.SHDSL (Cisco 1803).

They deliver strong network security, QoS, and other Cisco IOS features at broadband speeds.

Enhanced DSL QoS features, such as Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), committed

access rate (CAR), and Class-Based Traffic Shaping, help ensure high performance for mission-

critical applications. The Cisco 1803 supports G.SHDSL 2-wire and 4-wire capability providing

longer reach and higher performance.

The Cisco 1811 and 1812 routers are focused on Ethernet access and are designed to be offered

as customer premises equipment (CPE) in Metro Ethernet deployments. Because of their high-

speed performance and dual Fast Ethernet WAN ports, they can support the high-bandwidth

demands of Metro Ethernet and provide failover protection and load balancing if desired.

The eight-port switch on the Cisco 1800 Series fixed configuration routers is sufficient for

connecting numerous devices and the optional PoE capability can supply power to IP telephones

or other devices.
