Cisco 3201 802.11b/g Wireless Mobile Interface Card [Cisco 3200 Series Rugged Integrated Services Routers]

The Cisco® 3201 Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) for the Cisco 3200 Series Rugged ISR provides integrated 802.11b/g wireless WAN or LAN capabilities. Designed in the same ruggedized, compact PC/104-Plus form factor as other Cisco 3200 Series interface cards, the Cisco 3201 WMIC is designed to be integrated as part of a Cisco 3200 Series rugged router solution, eliminating the need to use external 802.11b/g bridges or access points. The integrated WMIC provides access to a mobile network in vehicles or to outdoor wireless infrastructure.

The Cisco 3200 Series Rugged ISRs (see Figure 1) offer organizations such as public safety, homeland security, and transportation agencies the following key solution benefits:

• A rugged router in a modular compact design, suited to create mobile networks in and around vehicles

• Standards-based connectivity for a wide range of wireless technologies, including 802.11b/g, 4.9 GHz, third-generation (3G) cellular networks, and satellite, upgradable to future wireless technologies

• Always-on wireless access for vehicle networks, with easy mobility through Mobile IP regardless of location or movement

• Advanced IP services through standards-based Cisco IOS® Software, offering robust network security, reliability, quality of service (QoS), and remote management functions

• Rugged enclosure from Cisco or options for third-party enclosures
