● The Cisco 1905 ISR is a modular platform with an integrated serial interface and an additional high-speed WAN interface card (HWIC) slot to provide connectivity and services for varied branch-office network requirements.
● It offers a choice of LAN, Serial, 3G, or ISDN modules to accommodate field upgrades to future technologies without requiring replacement of the platform. Processors
● The Cisco 1905 is powered by high-performance multicore processors that support growing demands of branchoffice networks by supporting high-throughput WAN requirements. Embedded IP Security/Secure Sockets Layer (IPsec/SSL) VPN hardware acceleration ● Embedded hardware encryption acceleration is enhanced to provide higher scalability, which, combined with an optional Cisco IOS Security license, enables WAN link security and VPN services (both IPsec and SSL acceleration).
● The onboard encryption hardware (co-processor) outperforms the advanced integration modules (AIMs) of previous generations. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports
● All onboard WAN ports are 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet WAN-routed ports. Serial port
● The Cisco 1905 has an integrated serial port (HWIC-1T) for serial WAN connectivity. Innovative universalserial-bus (USB)-based console access
● A new, innovative, mini-Type B USB console port supports management connectivity when traditional serial ports are not available.
● The traditional console and auxiliary ports are also available. You can use either the USB-based console or the RJ-45-based console port to configure the router. Optional external PoE power supply for distribution of power
● An optional upgrade to the power supply provides inline power, 802.3af-compliant PoE, and Cisco Standard Inline Power to optional integrated switch modules.
