G.shdsl WAN Interface Card
for the Cisco 1700 Series
The Cisco 1700 Series with a single-pair high-bit-rate digital-subscriber-line (G.shdsl)
WAN interface card (WIC) is the industry’s first multiservice router to deliver
business-class broadband service with scalable performance, flexibility, and security for
small-medium businesses and small enterprise branch offices. Together with the
integrated G.shdsl WIC (WIC-1SHDSL), the Cisco 1700 is the perfect solution for a
variety of businesses that require high-speed business-class DSL access on a secure,
high-performance modular platform. (See Figure 1.)

CombinedwiththeWIC-1SHDSL,theCisco1700deliverscost-effective,high-speed,symmetricalbandwidth
at a lower monthly cost than most traditional WAN circuits. This provides businesses with the necessary
bandwidth for such critical traffic as voice and videoconferencing, and allows customers to take advantage
of the cost savings of integrating voice and data traffic on the same WAN link. Service providers can benefit
by offering differentiated service levels through service-level agreements (SLAs) at a more competitive price.
The G.shdsl standard (ITU G.991.2) represents the first DSL standard accepted worldwide and is the latest
in DSL technology. The G.shdsl WIC is based on ITU recommendation G.991.2 and, therefore, allows for
better interoperability with third-party vendors. For more information on G.shdsl technology and the Cisco
suite of DSL products, see the following URL or contact your local representative:
