Mobile Networks
The Cisco 3200 Series Wireless and Mobile router offers a wireless, ruggedized, high-performance
router designed to extend the IP network from wired premises out to mobile infrastructure including
vehicles, trains, planes, and ships. The Cisco 3200 Series routers create a moble network to
establish a secure IP network for remote devices in a moving or stationary vehicle. Remote users
can exchange voice, video, and data communications with a central site and securely access
corporate resources in real-time. The Cisco 3200 Series forms a wireless network in and around
a mobile network to allow users to roam while still maintaining secure broadband connection.
To address always-on, mobile access for mission-critical applications, the Cisco 3200 Series
routers use standards-based mobile IP features in Cisco IOS Software to allow the mobile node or
network to stay connected as it moves from one wireless network to another. Transition to different
wireless networks is transparent to the users and devices (such as laptops, personal digital
assistants [PDAs], and surveillance cameras), and applications maintain continuous connectivity
without the user having to manually intervene as WAN links change. In addition to allowing a
single node or device to stay connected, the Cisco 3200 Series routers allow an entire mobile
network or subnet to stay connected.
Embedded Networks
Utility and energy companies are discovering the benefits of bridging proprietary networks with IP
networks. The challenge arises when these proprietary networks are located in remote sites,
without temperature controlled environments. With industrial grade components, the Cisco 3200
Series is an ideal platform for connecting these disparate networks on to an IP network. The Cisco
3200 Series provides standard ethernet, serial, or wireless interfaces used to connect isolated
networks or devices such as utility substations, traffic signal controllers, and video cameras on to
an IP network.
Network Security, Reliability, and Manageability
Because the Cisco 3200 Series routers run Cisco IOS Software, they provide capabilities for
network security, manageability, and scalability. Cisco IOS Software offers integrated network
security features including authorization and authentication, stateful firewall, intrusion detection,
and Triple Digital Encryption Standard (3DES) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption
for VPNs. Remote management capabilities give network managers visibility and control to the
remote network, including devices connected to the router. Powerful debug and troubleshooting
commands allow network managers to quickly isolate network problems and securely make
changes to network configurations.
