3G Cellular Data WAN Connectivity
The 3G (Evolution Data Only [EVDO], Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems [UMTS])
cellular interface is intended for use as a backup data link, but it can also be used as a primary WAN data
link. The 3G technology is third-generation wide-area cellular technology that is used in voice telephony
and broadband wireless data in a mobile environment.
Some Cisco 880G models come with a 34-mm express card slot ready for use with a commercial 3G card
radio. The 3G express card slot is located on the front panel. For a list of supported 3G cards, see the
Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers Data
Other Cisco 880G models come with embedded WAN modems for use over GSM or CDMA networks.
These routers have antenna connectors on the back panel. GSM routers have two SIM card slots. For
information on configuring Cisco 880 series ISRs for 3G, see
3G (EV-DO Rev A)
Wireless LAN Connectivity
The embedded Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™, 802.11a/b/g/n-compliant wireless AP is preinstalled in the router
as an optional feature. The Cisco 860 series routers support autonomous features and network
configurations. The Cisco 880 series and 890 series routers support both autonomous and unified
features and network configurations.
The wireless AP does not have an external Console port. Use the router's Console port as described in
Chapter 3, "Connecting the Router."
