The Cisco IP VSAT Satellite WAN Network Module provides two-way broadband satellite connectivity for remote sites and branch offices on the Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers as well as the Cisco 2600XM, 2691, and 3700 Series Access Routers. Using the highly reliable and available-everywhere satellite network, the Cisco IP VSAT module can provide resilient WAN backup for enterprise branch offices in case of primary connectivity failure, thus enhancing network reliability. When combined with the advanced services available on integrated services routers, such as voice and wireless, a highly portable and self-contained emergency response communications kit can be created to provide instant and mobile communication at a disaster site. Satellite multicast provides an efficient and cost-effective way to deliver bandwidth-rich content such as video, audio, and software upgrades to multiple sites. Using the Cisco IP VSAT module in conjunction with the Cisco Enterprise CDN (Content Delivery Network) solution, enterprise customers can create a highly reliable and scalable content delivery system for their branch offices worldwide.
