HWIC-1T Use Case

Remote Branch Office WAN Connectivity with HWIC-1T-1-Port Serial WAN Interface Card

In a multi-site enterprise, the HWIC-1T-1-Port Serial WAN Interface Card in Cisco 2900/3900 routers delivers dedicated T1 serial links to connect remote branch offices to headquarters. This configuration ensures consistent 1.544 Mbps bandwidth, sub-5 ms latency and integrated QoS for voice and data. Benefit: Streamlined deployment, deterministic performance and secure site-to-site connectivity that maximizes productivity and reduces operational overhead.

High-Availability Serial Backup Link for Enterprise Edge Routers

By installing the HWIC-1T-1 on your primary edge router, organizations can configure an automated serial failover path over T1 alongside MPLS or broadband circuits. In the event of primary WAN failure, BFD-driven failover triggers sub-15 second switch-over to the serial link, preserving application session continuity. Benefit: Zero-impact business continuity, improved SLA adherence and minimized revenue loss during outages.

Legacy System Integration and Centralized Management in Industrial Environments

Manufacturing and energy firms often rely on RS-232/RS-449 SCADA, PLC and POS systems that lack native Ethernet. The HWIC-1T-1 provides a high-speed T1 serial interface to bridge serial-only devices into the corporate IP network. Benefit: Extends the life of existing equipment, centralizes security and monitoring under Cisco IOS and reduces costs by avoiding full hardware upgrades.
