New Cisco Integrated Service Routers (ISRs) to be Released Soon?

Did Cisco's IP Telephony Group Jump the Announcement?

By michaeljmorris on Mon, 10/12/09 - 2:18pm.

In my blog last week I announced the official release of IOS 15.0. Someone added this comment to my blog:

Photobucket

That made me wonder if any information was available on the vast Cisco.com yet about the new ISRs. So, I did some searching (not logged in with my CCO account, this is all done as an annonymous web surfer).

I first tried regular Google, but those results were poor. So, I went right to Cisco.com and typed in "ISR 3900". That made for some interesting results. Check out the 3rd item listed:

Photobucket

There are more public pages in there too, mostly around telephpony (gateways, FXO/FSO, etc). For example, Table 4-1 (What's New in This Chapter) lists the 2900 and 3900 ISRs are gateway options for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.x:

Photobucket

Some more examples:

  1. Cisco Unified Communication Manager Express in SRST Mode
  2. Supported Analog H.323 and SIP Features
  3. Supported Analog MGCP Features
  4. Supported Digital H.323 and SIP Features for BRI, T1 CAS, T1 FGB, T1 FGD, and T1 QSIG
  5. and so on.....

However, I can't find any links that actually describe the new ISRs themselves. At this point, we just know they are coming (I would guess soon).

So, if Cisco was hoping to make a surpise marketing splash, they might want to have a chat with the IP Telephony business unit.

I saw IOS software for IOS 15.0 available for 3900,2900, and the 1900 platforms on the cisco website. They also mention specific models like the 1941W and 1941.

Let's use a Google cache of this very site (the original page just so happens to have disappeared):

Of interest to me:

- Console access via traditional console port or new mini-USB port (with mini-USB now being the default/preferred method)

- 2911 and greater come standard with 3 Gig-E ports

- New expansion cards: WIC & HWIC replaced by EHWIC (Enhanced HWIC?), NM, NME & EVM replaced by SM (Service Module), AIM replaced by ISM (Internal Service Module), and PVDM2 replaced by PVDM3.

- New power management that apparently lets you schedule the routers to turn off and on automatically at set times.
