Cisco 3700 Series
The Cisco 3700 Series of modular routers enable flexible and scalable
deployment of new applications in an integrated branch office access
platform. The Cisco 3700 Series is ideal for sites and solutions
requiring the highest levels of integration at the branch for IP
Telephony, and integrated flexible routing with low-density switching solutions. Integrated
security, intrusion detection, and VPN protect the network at the perimeters, while integrated
caching conserves WAN bandwidth. The Cisco 3700 Series provides a consolidated service
infrastructure and high service density in a compact form factor that enables the incremental
incorporation of branch applications.
