Key Product Advantages
This router eliminates dependency on fixed-line broadband by leveraging cellular networks as a primary WAN source, ideal for remote offices, temporary sites, or areas with poor terrestrial infrastructure. Its all-in-one design reduces the need for additional external modems or converters.
Cellular WAN Flexibility
Supports a broad range of cellular standards from UMTS to LTE Advanced, allowing deployment across various carrier networks and geographic regions without hardware changes.
- Backward compatible with 3G/4G networks
- Single antenna design simplifies installation
High-Density Wired Connectivity
Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports provide ample connectivity for computers, IP phones, printers, and other networked devices within the branch, reducing the need for separate switches.
- Dual broadband ports for WAN aggregation or failover
- Gigabit throughput minimizes local bottlenecks
Simplified Deployment
The desktop form factor and integrated features allow placement on shelves, desks, or counters, avoiding the complexity and cost of rack mounting or closet retrofitting.
- Compact footprint suits space-constrained environments
- USB port supports configuration storage or 3G/4G dongles
Deployment / Use Cases
The Cisco ISR-1111 is purpose-built for branch and remote office scenarios where traditional wired WAN services are unreliable, expensive, or unavailable. It serves as a primary router for small to medium-sized sites requiring always-on connectivity without dedicated telco lines.
Common deployments include retail kiosks, construction site trailers, agricultural monitoring stations, and temporary event networks. Its cellular capability also makes it a robust failover solution for existing wired connections, ensuring business continuity during outages.
Primary Cellular WAN for Remote Sites
Replace DSL or cable modems in areas with poor terrestrial coverage, using cellular networks as the main internet source with wired LAN for local devices.
Mobile and Temporary Networks
Deploy quickly in vehicles, pop-up stores, or field offices where infrastructure is minimal, leveraging LTE for high-speed internet access on the go.
Physical Profile
The router features a compact desktop enclosure measuring 12.70" wide by 9.60" deep and 1.70" high, with an approximate weight of 4.50 lb. Its low-profile design allows placement on most surfaces without dedicated mounting hardware, and the finish is optimized for office or light industrial environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.70" (43.18 mm), 12.70" (322.58 mm), 9.60" (243.84 mm), 4.50 lb (2041.17 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
