Flexible, Cost-Effective Customer Premises Equipment for Small Business
Demand for managed services is expected to grow dramatically over the next four years, with small businesses - those with fewer than 100 employees - expected to make up more than half of this market opportunity. These companies may have complex IT needs but generally don't have the technical staff or expertise needed to keep up. They look to service providers for a flexible infrastructure and simplified management, along with better quality and reliability than they can achieve in-house. To meet this opportunity, service providers are transforming their networks, using services-ready platforms to deliver an array of profitable IP-based communications services.
Cisco SRP500 Series Services Ready Platforms are flexible, cost-effective fixed-configuration customer premises equipment (CPE) with embedded intelligence to enable service providers to create, provision, and deploy premium revenue-generating services - a variety of high-quality IP voice, data, security, and wireless services - to small businesses on an as-needed basis. These platforms will help enable service providers to deliver differentiated, converged service offers that increase bandwidth usage and average revenue per user while reducing customer churn.
Product Overview
The Cisco SRP500 Series Services Ready Platforms include:
Embedded intelligence to support a variety of high-quality voice, data, security, and wireless services.
Integrated voice ports powered by an industry-leading voice Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) stack to deliver clear, high-quality voice service.
Integrated stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall and high-speed IP Security (IPsec) VPN capabilities with support for Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) to help keep small business data safe.
4-port managed Ethernet switch to connect devices in the office. VLAN support allows for highly secure segmentation of network resources.
Integrated 802.11n wireless access point to enable employees to connect to the network while away from theirdesks.
Third-generation (3G) wireless data readiness with built-in USB modem drivers.
Interoperability with industry-leading soft switches, and voice gateways to enable scalable, end-to-end multiservice network deployments.
Support for industry-standard TR-069 and XML-based provisioning for zero-touch deployments.
Easy integration with other Cisco Small Business products to enable adaptability as customer needs change.
