Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateways combine the latest in cellular technology with deployment flexibility, investment protection, and ease of management, with both traditional and SD-WAN deployments. Hyperconnectivity with steady performance, exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and next-generation cloud-scale applications — these trends are causing enterprises to look beyond traditional connectivity to cellular solutions, especially high-speed 5G and 4G technologies, to connect hard-to-reach areas and to securely support global operations. Powered by gigabit-class 5G and 4G standards, the Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateways bring blazing-fast cellular connection to virtually any Cisco host platform. Connected to the host router via Ethernet and available with Power over Ethernet (PoE), the cellular gateways can be placed wherever cellular reception is strongest, making installation much easier and more reliable than traditional coaxial cable antenna extensions. The ability to support new applications, either cloud hosted or on-premises, and to connect more devices reliably and flexibly, can make it easier to migrate to a wireless WAN with guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). The cellular gateways’ faster 5G and 4G speeds mean that wireless could be considered for primary connectivity, alongside internet and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) modes of transport. Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateways connect your users and devices to trusted cloud and enterprise applications using 5G and 4G LTE Advanced Pro technologies. When combined with Cisco SD-WAN, they enable you to automate deployment, manage policies, and monitor network traffic over a cellular WAN with greater flexibility.
