platform with a choice of hardware and software options. The Cisco 3220 Mobile Access Router is preconfigured
and is suitable for mass deployments in commercial transportation and public safety markets.
Hardware Overview
The Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router combines high performance with small size. Each card of the mobile access
router is roughly the footprint of a 3.5-inch floppy disk, so it can be deployed in places where traditional networking
equipmentis inappropriate. The hardware ofthe Cisco 3200 Mobile AccessRouter is specially designed forthe harsh
operating environment typical of moving or stationary vehicles operating on land, in the air, or by sea.
The Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router adheres to the PC/104-Plus electrical and mechanical standard. As a
standards-based solution, the Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router allows for easy and cost-effective integration with
third-party PC/104-Plus products such as a hard disk drive, which would interface through industry-standard ports
on the Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router.
Cisco 3250 Mobile Access Router
The Cisco 3250 Mobile Access Router hardware is configurable through stackable interface cards, including:
• Cisco 3251 Mobile Access Router Card (MARC)—The routing engine of the router that includes the host
processor and memory as well as one auxiliary/asynchronous port, one Fast Ethernet port, and one console port
• Cisco 3201 Serial Mobile Access Router Interface Cards (SMICs)—Provide four asynchronous and synchronous
serial interfaces on the router that connect to wired and wireless LAN and WAN communication devices
• Cisco3201 Fast Ethernet Switch MobileAccess Router Interface Card (FESMIC)—A 4-port,10/100 autosensing
Ethernet switch that supports 802.1q and 802.1p standards
The Cisco 3250 Mobile Access Router system comprises one MARC and various combinations of Cisco Mobile
Interface Cards (MICs). This allows flexible configurations optimized for a wide range of applications and solutions.
It also allows configuration changes to incorporate future applications and future wired or wireless technologies.
Cisco 3220 Mobile Access Router
The Cisco 3220 is a preconfigured model of the Cisco 3200 Series. It comprises a MARC with one auxiliary/
asynchronous port, one Fast Ethernet port, and one console port, a 2-port SMIC, and a 2-port FESMIC.
TheSMIC and FESMIC take advantageof external wireless communication devicessuch as the Cisco Aironet802.11
product family and satellite or radio devices. This flexibility allows it to interoperate with most available wireless
networks, both traditional wireless services and emerging wireless technologies.
Software Over view
The Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router uses Cisco IOS Software. This enables organizations to take advantage of the
provenpower, flexibility,andreliability of Cisco IOS Softwarefor their mobile networks. ITmanagers can, therefore,
take advantage of their investment and training in Cisco IOS Software for their mobile networks.
The Mobile IP standard (IETF Standard-RFC 2002) within Cisco IOS Software provides the roaming architecture
that allows a Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router to connect to its home network. Traditional mobile IP allows client
devicessuch as a laptop computeror personal digital assistant (PDA)to maintain asingle IP address and roamamong
multiple networks without losing their connection to the home network. Mobile IP is a network layer functionality,
eliminating the need to rewrite traditional applications.
The Cisco IOS Mobile Network feature allows mobile networks to scale, providing mobility management across the
network.Cisco IOS Mobile Network isan enhanced, standards-basedimplementation of the Mobile IPstandard that
transforms a Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router from a mobile IP node into a mobile IP router. All client devices
connectedto the mobileaccess router canuse the routerIP addresses for mobility.The router and itssubnets maintain
IP connectivity while the vehicle is in motion. Cisco IOS Mobile Network functionality makes connectivity
transparent to all hosts connecting through the router,because client devices connected to the router require no client
software. With Cisco IOS Mobile Network, mobility is scalable and easier to deploy and manage, and it requires
fewer IP addresses.
A key requirement in both military and public safety deployments is secure communications. Cisco IOS Software
includes a robust set of security features for identity management and confidentiality.Users authenticate themselves
toRADIUS-based identitymanagement servers. Powerful, software-based encryption protects communications from
interception or spoofing. An integrated firewall provides stateful protection. Hardware encryption devices may also
be added externally through the available Ethernet ports on the MARC or FESMIC.

Features and Benefits
The Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router offers three primary features and benefits, which are detailed as follows (refer
also to Table 1):
• Seamless roaming IP availability, independent of location, movement, or infrastructure
• High performance in a compact, rugged design for use in vehicles or in remote field locations
• Advanced IP services and interoperability via Cisco IOS Software Mobile Networks
Seamless Roaming, Independent of Location, Movement, or Infrastructure
Mission-critical applications require always-on connection. The Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router can exploit any
standard wireless technology, including 802.11b, Cellular Digit Packet Data (CDPD), general packet radio service
(GPRS), and satellite because IP traffic remains independent of transmission medium. Through multiple network
interfaces, the router can communicate with today’s wireless WANs and future wireless technologies. The mobile IP
feature allows network nodes to roam across multiple wired or wireless networks and maintain a live connection to
an IP network—a key requirement in mobile computing environments.
Cisco extends the benefits of mobile IP through the introduction of the Cisco IOS Mobile Networks feature in Cisco
IOS Software. Cisco IOS Mobile Networks allows an entire network—not just a single client—to stay connected
while in motion. With Cisco IOS Mobile Network, devices connected to the Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router, such
as laptops, PDAs, and cameras, can maintain continuous access to the IP network and also share the single or
multiple WAN connections provided by the router.
Consider as an example of seamless mobility a police car equipped with a Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router driving
through a large metropolitan area. As the car begins in an area with 802.11b wireless Ethernet, for example, it is on
a node on the police LAN. Devices in the car can access information such as a criminal database or streaming voice
and video from a surveillance camera while moving through the city. When the vehicle moves beyond range of the
wireless Ethernet network, the Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router enables a seamless changeover to another wireless
network—a radio access network, for example. The police officers inthe car are unaware of this change because they
retain constant connectivity to their mission-critical applications.
High Performance in a Compact, Rugged Design for Use in Vehicles
The Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router addresses the harsh environment inflicted upon electronic devices in moving
vehicles, ships, and aircraft. These environments often impose severe limitations on space and power, and the
consequences of motion can disrupt gear not specifically hardened for such deployments.
The compact, rugged design of the Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router addresses these limitations with an
industry-standard PC/104-Plus architecture without sacrificing performance. The board layout and component
placement allow systems integrators to build rugged systems for the most demanding environments. The high-speed
processor, high-speed Personal Computer Interface (PCI)communications bus,and high-capacitymemory enable the
high performance required to support advanced IP applications.
Stacking multiple PC/104-Plus cards offers configuration flexibility of various LAN and WAN interfaces to meet
specific connectivity requirements. Industrial-grade components and extended operating ranges meet the stringent
requirements for extreme conditions encountered by military vehicles such as aircraft. The combination of the small
size, rugged design, and high performance make the Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router a unique solution for
extending valuable IP applications and connectivity to mobile users operating in extreme conditions.
Advanced IP Services and Interoperability with Cisco IOS Software
Most enterprise and service provider networks throughout the world today run Cisco IOS Software because of its
proven reliability,scalability,and manageability.Cisco extends this feature-rich and resilient software to the extreme
mobile edge, where it provides rich, advanced IP services. Security features include firewall protection and encrypted
virtual private networks (VPNs) to keep data secure over a public WAN infrastructure. Quality-of-service (QoS)
features enable simultaneous access to several applications over a single WANconnection and protect delay-sensitive
traffic such as video.
Cisco IOS Software has standards-based IP suites that assure interoperability between Cisco IOS devices and
standards-based, third-party equipment and applications. This results in a system that is transparent to transmission
technology and can support both traditional and future networks and applications. Such investment protection
allows systems integrators to deploy the Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router in their solutions with confidence,
knowing that it can accommodate future applications and enhancements. Refer to Table1 for a summary of features
and benefits. Tables 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 provide additional information about the Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Router.
