Delivering advanced security and routing capabilities for small branch

offices, teleworkers and small-to-medium businesses, the new routers are

optimized for securing e-Business applications for customers with existing

broadband modems.

Today's announcement underscores Cisco's strategy, through the SAFE

blueprint, to provide organizations of all sizes with the most scalable,

flexible and comprehensive method of securely, reliably and cost-effectively

competing in today's fast-paced business environment.

The Cisco 806 Broadband Gateway Router provides secure, shared access with

the power of Cisco IOS Technology for small offices and teleworkers. The Cisco

806 offers business class security features such as a stateful inspection

firewall and support for VPNs with IPSec 3DES encryption.

On the other hand, the Cisco 1710 Security Access Router delivers advanced

routing and comprehensive security functionality to small to medium businesses

and small branch offices. These include hardware-assisted wire-speed IPSec 3DES

encryption (T1/E1 speeds), support for up to 100 simultaneous VPN tunnels,

stateful inspection firewalls, intrusion detection, and advanced routing and QoS

features.

According Cisco Indias’ (systems engineering) vice-president S V Ramana,

"With the addition of the Cisco 806 and 1710 routers to our list of

approved devices, we believe that we can offer more advanced security and

routing functionality to businesses who currently access the Internet with a

simple broadband modem."
