Cisco HWIC-4SHDSL

Cisco HWIC-4SHDSL Overview

The Cisco HWIC-4SHDSL is a WAN Interface Card designed for Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) that supports G.SHDSL technology. Here are the key specifications and features of this product:

1. WAN Connectivity:
   • Supports G.SHDSL for both symmetric high-bit-rate DSL connections.
   • Provides connectivity for small to medium-sized businesses and enterprise branch offices.
2. Port Configuration:
   • Offers 4-pair configuration with two ports of 4-wire or four ports of 2-wire connectivity options.
   • Allows bonding of single or dual-pair G.SHDSL ports, creating a single 8-wire interface to increase bandwidth. This is achieved using Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) or data interleaving with M-pair mode.
3. Performance:
   • Provides high-speed symmetrical WAN connectivity.
   • Designed to deliver higher performance and increased reach compared to the previous G.SHDSL WAN Interface Card (WIC-1SHDSL-V3).
4. Compatibility:
   • Compatible with all Cisco Integrated Services Routers that have HWIC slots, ensuring easy integration into existing networks.
5. Cost Efficiency:
   • Offers a lower monthly cost for WAN services compared to traditional WAN circuits, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses needing reliable data transmission.
6. Traffic Management:
   • Supports critical traffic types such as voice and video conferencing by allowing the integration of voice and data traffic over the same WAN link.
7. Service Provider Benefits:
   • Enables service providers to bundle services and offer differentiated service levels, potentially increasing subscriber revenue through service-level agreements (SLAs).
