The Cisco ISR 1101X-8P LTE Advanced Router delivers integrated connectivity with a robust 1x GE RJ-45 WAN port and eight 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ LAN interfaces, enabling network engineers to consolidate branch routing, switching, and wireless power delivery into a single compact appliance. This router operates on Cisco IOS XE, providing a unified software foundation that simplifies management across distributed sites while maintaining security-first design principles.

Built on the Cisco ISR 1100 Series architecture, the C1101X-8P combines built-in LTE Advanced (CAT-6) modem capability with dual Nano SIM support, eliminating the need for external cellular modules on branch networks. The device offers 60W total PoE power budget across its eight ports, making it ideal for powering IP cameras, access points, and IoT sensors simultaneously. Enterprise IT procurement teams will appreciate the Zone-Based Policy Firewall (IOS XE integrated), IPsec, DMVPN, FlexVPN, and GET VPN support for secure branch-to-headquarters communication. Management flexibility spans CLI (SSH/Telnet), Cisco DNA Center, Cisco vManage, NETCONF/YANG, and RESTCONF protocols. The router also includes 1x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0 Type-A for storage or peripheral connectivity, dual console options (RJ-45 and Mini USB), and full SD-WAN readiness through Cisco SD-WAN compatibility with vManage, vSmart, and vBond controllers. Operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and a desktop/wall-mountable form factor make deployment straightforward in varied branch environments. The external AC power adapter ensures reliable operation across global office locations.

Typical Branch and Edge Deployment Scenarios

• Remote office connectivity with integrated LTE failover and dual SIM redundancy for continuous WAN availability
• PoE+ power consolidation for branch-mounted IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones using a single 60W budget
• SD-WAN gateway at branch locations leveraging Cisco vManage orchestration for centralized policy control
• DMZ or secure segment enforcement using Zone-Based Policy Firewall with IPsec and GET VPN overlays
• Retail, manufacturing, or logistics sites requiring both hardwired and cellular WAN paths with local LAN switching
