Cisco® 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with Cisco IOS® XE Software combine Internet
access, comprehensive security, and wireless services (LTE Advanced 3.0 wireless WAN and 802.11ac
wireless LAN) in a single, high-performance device. The routers are easy to deploy and manage, with
separate data and control plane capabilities.
The Cisco 1000 Series ISRs are well suited for deployment as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) in enterprise branch
offices, in service provider managed environments as well as smaller form factor and M2M use cases.
Note: Not all 1000 series SKU variants are available in every region with different technologies (check on CCW pricelist
for your region).
