IR1101-K9 Rugged Series Router with two LTE modules (LTE and LTE-Advanced with carrier aggregation)

Product highlights

Key features

Modularity and investment protection. A single form factor with multiple WAN (LTE, LTE-Advanced, SFP Ethernet) and storage options enable flexibility to add or upgrade modules as technologies evolve.

Dual active LTE-capable With two LTE modules (LTE and LTE-Advanced with carrier aggregation), the IR1101 enables concurrent connectivity to two cellular networks for WAN redundancy, enhanced data throughputs, load balancing, and differentiated services, making it a highly reliable and high-performance platform.

Cisco IOS XE Software. IOS XE is a highly secure, standards-based and flexible operating system for a new era of IoT deployment. It’s an enterprise-class OS with advanced routing and security.

Software Defined WAN (SDWAN) capable. For high WAN availability and simplicity for large-scale distributed networks.

Industrial security. With Cisco Trust Anchor Technology ensuring authenticity of hardware and software, hardware-accelerated Next Generation Encryption and Quantum Computer Resistant algorithms, firewall and VPN services, and alerts and notifications enabling physical and cyber security, the IR1101 offers a multi-layer security for mission-critical deployments.

Edge computing. Speed up awareness and response to events and conserve network bandwidth by analyzing the most time-sensitive data at the network edge, close to where it is generated. A highly secure, extensible environment for hosting applications ensures authenticity of applications. An optional mSATA SSD field-replaceable unit on the expansion module enables storage of application data for recording and analysis.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). Supports migration of data from legacy control systems in an industrial environment to an IP-based network using DNP3 serial–to–DNP3/IP and IEC 60870 T101–to–T104 protocol translations.

Smart grid-compliant. Designed for installation in harsh secondary substation environments. Complies with IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850-3 for distribution automation.

GPS. Location-based services for tracking assets and protecting from theft and intrusion.

Ease of management. On-premises and cloud-based network management solutions cater to businesses across multiple industry verticals. Tools such as Cisco DNA Center, Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard, Cisco IoT Field Network Director (FND), Cisco Plug and Play (PnP), and Cisco Prime^® simplify deployment and offer the breadth of cross-network management and the depth of multi-layer visibility.

Multiple Packet Data Network (PDN). Gain connectivity to different Access Point Names (APNs) for traffic segregation over a cellular link. For example, public Internet traffic can be kept separate from mission-critical traffic emerging from the sensors and devices connected to the router.

4G LTE multiple-bearer QoS. Differentiated treatment of traffic with multiple simultaneous bearers as per 3GPP standards for an enhanced user experience.

Multi-bearer QoS depends on the cellular carrier’s ability to support the service in their network.

Network Segmentation. Multi-VRF, VLAN, and VPN enable businesses to configure and maintain more than one instance of a routing and forwarding table within the same customer edge device, enabling dynamic changes in the network with a minimal maintenance window. Service providers can enable this feature to support two or more VPNs with IP addresses that overlap across the VPNs.

Features

IoT enablement

Lightweight, compact, modular, and ruggedized form factor

Designed for tight installation inside cabinets. All the Input/Output (I/O) ports and connectors are located on the front panel for easy wiring inside cabinets.

No additional power supply for the expansion module

Easily add an expansion module without requiring an additional power input.

Raw socket transport and SCADA

The raw socket can be used to transport SCADA data from RTUs. This method is an alternative to the Block Serial Tunnel (BSTUN) protocol. The Cisco IR1101 also supports DNP3 serial–to–DNP3/IP and IEC 60870 T101–to–IEC 60870 T104 protocol translations, serving as a SCADA gateway.

Multiple mounting options

Floor or wall mounting and DIN rail mounting in horizontal or vertical orientations.

Increased performance to run concurrent services

The multi-core processor architecture allows businesses to take advantage of network-supported speeds.

Multiple WAN and LAN connections

Four fast Ethernet interfaces

WAN diversity

Dual active LTE interfaces

Concurrent connectivity to two cellular networks for high reliability, load balancing, and differentiated services.

Serial interface

A RS-232 asynchronous serial interface (RJ45 DTE) can be used with raw socket, protocol translation, and connections to locate Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), sensors, and PLCs for SCADA transport and management.

Transparent roaming between wireless networks

Dual Subscriber-Identity-Module (SIM) over cellular

Provides active and backup connectivity for high reliability over LTE and HSPA networks.

Cisco IOS^® mobile IP

Cellular fallback

Multiple technologies (4G LTE, 3G, and 2G) are available to support connectivity to the best one available. 2G fallback is not supported in North America.

Software

Manage devices over a cellular network

Cisco IoT Control Center

Cisco IoT Control Center minimizes the complexity and cost of managing connected devices on a cellular network by taking control with actionable insights. For instance, tracking and managing data usage overages can result in a significant reduction in operational expenses.

Embedded management capabilities

Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM)

A distributed and customized approach to event detection and recovery.

Provides the ability to monitor events and take corrective or any other desired action when the monitored events, such as a high or low threshold, occur.

Cisco IOS XE IP Service-Level Agreements (IP SLA)

Helps assure the performance of new, business-critical IP applications as well as IP services by actively monitoring and reliably reporting traffic statistics such as jitter, response time, packet loss, and connectivity.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Syslog, NetFlow

Open-standards-based network monitoring and accounting tools, such as SNMP for 3G, 4G and xDSL MIB, provide a common management platform for many different devices.

LTE network management and diagnostics

A dedicated diagnostic port on a cellular module enables logging of data during debugging sessions that can be analyzed by industry-standard tools such as Qualcomm CDMA Air Interface Tester (CAIT) and Spirent Universal Diagnostic Monitor (UDM).
