HWIC-3G-CDMA Use Case

Remote Branch Office Failover with HWIC-3G-CDMA-3G WWAN EVDO Rev A

A regional retailer in a low-coverage area deploys the Cisco Router High-Speed WAN Interface Card HWIC-3G-CDMA-3G WWAN HWIC-EVDO Rev A/0/1xRTT-800/1900MHz as an automatic 3G CDMA backup link. In the event of MPLS or ADSL outage, the card instantly switches to EVDO Rev A, ensuring uninterrupted POS transactions and secure VPN access. Benefit: maximized business continuity, reduced revenue loss, and seamless user experience under network failure.

Mobile Public Safety Command Center Connectivity

A metropolitan emergency response unit outfits its mobile command vehicle with the Generic CDMA HWIC-3G-CDMA-3G WWAN HWIC-EVDO Rev A Cisco Router card for real-time data, video streaming and VoIP over 800/1900MHz networks. During large-scale incidents, the solution delivers reliable 3G WAN service where fiber and LTE are unavailable. Benefit: rapid situational awareness, secure encrypted communications, and resilient network access in critical operations.

Oil & Gas Wellhead Telemetry over 1xRTT

An upstream energy company installs the HWIC-3G-CDMA-3G WWAN HWIC-EVDO Rev A/0/1xRTT-800/1900MHz card on Cisco routers at remote drilling sites to transmit SCADA telemetry over CDMA 1xRTT networks. Data on pressure, flow rates and equipment health is sent securely to the central control center in near real-time. Benefit: optimized production monitoring, predictive maintenance alerts, and reduced field service costs with always-on WAN connectivity.

Questions & Answers

What is the Cisco HWIC-3G-CDMA (SKU: HWIC-3G-CDMA)?

The Cisco HWIC-3G-CDMA is a High-Speed WAN Interface Card for Cisco ISR routers that delivers CDMA-based 3G connectivity with EV-DO Rev A and 1xRTT support on 800/1900 MHz bands.

Which Cisco routers are compatible with the HWIC-3G-CDMA?

The HWIC-3G-CDMA is supported on Cisco ISR 1800, 2800, and 3800 series routers that feature an available HWIC expansion slot.

What network technologies does the HWIC-3G-CDMA support?

This module supports EV-DO Rev A for high-speed packet data and legacy 1xRTT for fallback connectivity on CDMA networks.

What frequency bands does the HWIC-3G-CDMA operate on?

The HWIC-3G-CDMA operates on the 800 MHz and 1900 MHz CDMA frequency bands, covering major North American carriers.

What data speeds can I achieve with the HWIC-3G-CDMA?

EV-DO Rev A delivers up to 3.1 Mbps downlink and 1.8 Mbps uplink, while 1xRTT offers up to 153.6 Kbps in both directions.

How do I install the HWIC-3G-CDMA in a Cisco router?

Power off the router, slide the HWIC-3G-CDMA into an empty HWIC slot, secure the module with its retention screw, then power on the router.

How do I configure the HWIC-3G-CDMA interface on Cisco IOS?
