Description
The Cisco 5915, 5940 are high-performance, ruggedized routers. With onboard hardware encryption, the Cisco 5915, 5940 offloads encryption processing from the router to provide highly secure yet scalable video, voice, and data services for mobile and embedded outdoor networks. The Cisco 5915, 5940 Embedded Services Routers provide a scalable, secure, manageable remote access server that meets FIPS 140-2 Level 1 requirements. The Cisco 5915, 5940 Router Cards use industrial-grade components and is optimized for harsh environments that require Cisco IOS Software routing technology.
