Benefits
Description
Service Integration
●
The Cisco 1941 Series offer increased levels of services integration with data, security, wireless, and mobility
services enabling greater efficiencies cost savings.
Services on Demand
●
A single Cisco IOS
®
Software Universal image is installed on each ISR G2. The Universal image contains all of the
Cisco IOS technology sets which can be activated with a software license. This allows your business to quickly
deploy advanced features without downloading a new IOS image. Additionally, larger default memory is included to
support the new capabilities.
●
The Cisco Services Ready Engine (SRE) enables a new operational model which allows you to reduce capital
expenditures (CapEx) and deploy a variety of application services as needed on a single integrated compute
services module.
High Performance
with Integrated
Services
●
The Cisco 1900 Series enables deployment in high speed WAN environments with concurrent services enabled up
to 25 Mbps.
●
Multi-Gigabit Fabric enables high bandwidth module to module communication without compromising routing
performance.
Network Agility
●
Designed to address customer business requirements, Cisco 1941 Series with the modular architecture, offers
performance range of modular interfaces and services as your network needs grow.
●
Modular interfaces offer increased bandwidth, a diversity of connection options, and network resiliency.
Energy Efficiency
●
The Cisco 1941 Series architecture provides energy savings features that include the following:
◦ The Cisco 1900 Series offers intelligent power management and allows the customer to control power to the
modules based on the time of day. Cisco EnergyWise technology will be supported in the future.
◦ Services integration and modularity on a single platform performing multiple functions, optimizes raw materials
consumption and energy usage.
◦ Platform flexibility and ongoing development of both hardware and software capabilities lead to a longer product
lifecycle, lowering all aspects of the total cost of ownership, including materials and energy use.
◦ High efficiency power supplies are provided with each platform.
Investment Protection
●
The Cisco 1941 Series maximizes investment protection by supporting:
◦ Reuse of a broad array of existing modules supported on the original Integrated Services Routers provides a
lower cost of ownership.
◦ Rich set of Cisco IOS Software features carried forward from the original Integrated Services Routers and
delivered in the universal image.
◦ Flexibility to grow as your business needs evolve.
Architecture and Modularity
The Cisco 1941 Series is architected to meet the application demands of today’s branch offices with design
flexibility for future applications. The modular architecture is designed to support expanding customer
requirements, increased bandwidth, and fully integrated power distribution to modules supporting 802.3af Power
over Ethernet (PoE) and Cisco Enhanced PoE (ePoE). Table 2 lists the architectural features and benefits of the
Cisco 1941 Series.

Benefits
Modular Platform
●
The Cisco 1941 Series ISR are highly modular platforms with multiple module slots to provide connectivity and
services for varied branch network requirements.
●
The ISRs offer an industry-leading breadth of LAN and WAN connectivity options through modules to
accommodate field upgrades to future technologies without requiring replacement of the platform.
Processors
●
The Cisco 1941 Series is powered by high-performance multi-core processors that support growing demands of
branch office networks by supporting high throughput WAN requirements.
MultiGigabit Fabric
●
The Cisco 1941 introduces an innovative MultiGigabit Fabric (MGF) which allows for efficient module to module
communication, enabling direct services interactions across modules while reducing the overhead on the router
processor.
Embedded IPSec VPN
Hardware Acceleration
●
Embedded hardware encryption acceleration is enhanced to provide higher scalability, which, combined with an
optional Cisco IOS Security license, enables WAN link security and VPN services (IPSec acceleration).
●
The onboard encryption hardware out-performs the Advanced Integration Modules of previous generations.
