About the Cisco NIM-4G-LTE-VZ Cisco network interface module
This single NIM slot hot-swap module integrates 4G LTE cellular connectivity directly into Cisco ISR 4000 Series routers, enabling enterprises to deploy redundant WAN transport without external appliances. The Cisco NIM-4G-LTE-VZ is a Network Interface Module that presents a native cellular interface (cellular0/x/0) to Cisco IOS XE, allowing network engineers to configure LTE as primary or backup connectivity alongside traditional fixed broadband. Built on Verizon's North American 4G LTE network and certified for Verizon deployment, this module supports 2×2 MIMO receive diversity via dual SMA female antenna connectors and includes Assisted GPS (A-GPS) for location-aware applications.
The module accepts a Nano-SIM (4FF) card and operates across 0°C to 40°C, with full FCC and Industry Canada regulatory compliance. Cisco IOS XE native management, NETCONF/YANG configuration, and Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela) support enable seamless integration into modern hybrid WAN architectures, positioning this module as a critical component for enterprises building resilient branch connectivity. Network architects and IT procurement teams leveraging Cisco ISR 4321, 4331, 4351, 4431, 4451, or 4461 platforms can now add licensed cellular transport in minutes without hardware redesign. As genuine Cisco hardware, the NIM-4G-LTE-VZ qualifies for Cisco TAC support validation on the host platform.
Deployment Scenarios
- Branch office backup WAN: Automatic failover to Verizon LTE when MPLS or broadband fails
- SD-WAN underlay transport: Cellular as a third transport option alongside wired links in Cisco SD-WAN topologies
- Remote site connectivity: Rapid deployment to sites lacking fixed infrastructure
- IoT and telemetry: Location-aware field data collection using Assisted GPS integration
- Hybrid WAN redundancy: Dual-carrier strategies combining LTE with existing VSAT or broadband circuits
