Secure Branch Office VPN and Unified Threat Management with Cisco C2801-VSEC-CUBE
In a multi-site enterprise, IT teams deploy the Cisco 2801 VSEC Bundle w/ PVDM2-8, FL-CUBE, AVS and 128F/384D to establish site-to-site IPsec VPN tunnels, next-gen firewall, intrusion prevention and malware defense. This single-platform solution consolidates routing, security and voice-over-IP services, reduces hardware footprint by 40%, and delivers 128 Mbps of firewall throughput with full SSL/AVS inspection. Outcome: Secure, high-performance connectivity between headquarters and branch offices, simplified management and compliance with corporate security policies.
Integrated Voice, Video and Encryption for SMB Contact Centers
A mid-market contact center uses the Cisco 2801 VSEC Bundle’s PVDM2-8 DSP module and FL-CUBE for secure voice and video call routing, transcoding and encryption. By leveraging the router’s integrated session border controller (CUBE) and 128 simultaneous voice channels (128F/384D), the IT team delivers carrier-grade SIP trunking, seamless handoffs and QoS for up to 50 agents. Outcome: Lower TCO through device convergence, enhanced call quality with end-to-end AES encryption, and rapid deployment of unified communications services.
PCI-Compliant Retail POS Network Security and Centralized Management
A nationwide retail chain implements the Cisco C2801-VSEC-CUBE with AVS, firewall and IPsec VPN to protect point-of-sale terminals and back-end payment servers. The advanced malware protection (AVS) engine scans all HTTP/HTTPS traffic, while hardware-accelerated encryption secures data in transit to a central data center. With 384 Mbps of encrypted throughput and a built-in intrusion prevention system, the retailer meets PCI DSS requirements and achieves 99.99% network uptime. Outcome: End-to-end security for customer transactions, streamlined compliance audits and centralized policy enforcement.
