Cisco 1751 makes network expansion options pretty cost effective. At the back of the router is the room for any combination of up to two WAN interface cards or VIC's. There is also support for a seperate single Voice Interface Card. Hence upgrades and additions which are often needed to adapt to the new requirements are not hard to deploy. Be assured that your investment is well protected and will keep on delivering results for an extended period of time.

With Cisco 1751 Router, your small or medium business or branch office has a reliable internet connection with channel partners or other offices. This definitely adds to the communication capabilities and productivity factors. Not to forget that within these interactions and network infrastructure lies a well implemented VPN that keeps the segment on this side of the router well secure from public users.

Increasing the appeal of Cisco 1751 as the ideal solution for office data networking, the router comes in two models. The first, knows as Base Model, comes with Cisco IOS IP software, quite capable for all needs except the voice functionality for which you have to either upgrade it or opt for the Multiservice 1751-V Model. The latter comes with enhanced Cisco IOS IP Plus that includes voice functionality.

WAN interface cards that Cisco 1751 support are the same as highlighted by other routers such as 3600, 2600, 1700 and 1600 series routers. For VIC's or Voice over IP, the technology is identical to 1700, 2600 and 3600 series routers. Another cool feature is its ability to create DMZ LAN's and thereby improve overall security.

To summarize, the key benefits of Cisco 1751 Modular Access Router are flexibility with WAN technologies, modularity in data or voice features, integration of multi-services such as data/voice/video/fax, lowering of total cost of ownership and protection of your investment in network equipment.
