Positioning
The Cisco 3600, 3700, and 3800 expand the Cisco dial product line, with products from the Cisco
3600, 3700, and 3800 Series, to the Cisco VPN 5000 Series concentrators, making up a broad
range of dial solutions targeted at different market segments, including small branch, enterprise,
ISPs, telcos, and carriers.
Other dial-focused network modules of the Cisco 3600, 3700, and 3800 Series include 16- and
32-port high-density asynchronous network modules, ISDN network modules, and 8- and 16-port
analog modem networks. These modules address the high-density asynchronous market (up to
192 asynchronous ports) for external modem banks and terminal servers, the ISDN consolidation
market (8 PRI or 48 BRI), the middensity analog modem market, and the middensity hybrid market
(30-120 digital modems), all utilizing a high-performance routing engine.
Summary
The Cisco 3600, 3700, and 3800 Series are multifunction platforms, with the ability to support dial
access, LAN-to-LAN routing, and multiservice functions in the same chassis. The benefits of this
multifunction positioning include modularity, scalability, investment protection, and flexibility. The
Cisco 3600, 3700, and 3800 multifunction platforms directly address the many varied needs of the
power branch environment.
