The AT&T (News - Alert) Wireless WAN Connectivity Service will now be available along with the new Cisco 3G-Enabled Wireless WAN High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC) for the Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR).
The Cisco 3G Wireless WAN HWIC is a wireless module enabled for AT&T's UMTS/HSDPA-based BroadbandConnect service and is integrated in the Cisco ISR, which provides Internet Protocol (IP)-based data, voice, video and mobility services.
The combining solution gives customers highly secure wireless broadband backup to their Cisco ISR wireline data connections, according to the companies. Customers can configure their local area networks so that the Wireless WAN Connectivity Service automatically activates.
"The Cisco 3G Wireless WAN HWIC solution is the mechanism through which the worlds of wireline and wireless data are coming together for the first time within a single, enterprise-grade hardware platform," said Jeff Bradley, vice president, wireless business data services, for AT&T, in a statement. "This groundbreaking capability coupled with the AT&T Wireless WAN Connectivity Service-- which was the first commercially available service of its kind-- provides our joint AT&T and Cisco customers with a cost-effective, rapidly deployable, reliable and secure solution for remote sites and branch offices."
The Cisco ISR with an AT&T-powered Cisco 3G Wireless WAN HWIC comes with some useful features such as automatic failover service for business continuity, supplemental bandwidth access, rapidly deployable connectivity for temporary sites and businesses requiring portability or for remote locations lacking wireline
infrastructure.
