Product Overview

The Cisco 805 router can connect a remote office to a corporate office or a small
professional office to an Internet service provider (ISP).

In the remote-office-to-corporate-office network, the remote office is typically a small
professional office that is part of a largercorporation,suchasarealestateoffice. Although

professional office,suchasa small architectural firm that needs to accessinformationfrom
the Internet.
