Enterprise RoutingCatalyst 8200 Series
5G-ready SASE edge platforms for the small branch, with integrated SD-WAN.
Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are 5G-ready cloud edge platforms for the small and medium branch, purpose-built for SASE, multilayer security, and cloud-native agility. Running Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN, they deliver secure, cloud-scale SD-WAN and SD-Routing with integrated security, flexible interfaces, and zero-touch automation. Trustworthy Solutions 2.0 secures the platform itself. Faltrox deploys, secures, and manages them.
Overview
What Catalyst 8200 Series is
The Catalyst 8200 Series brings Cisco’s secure, cloud-scale SD-WAN and SD-Routing to the small branch at optimal price/performance. It is 5G-ready and purpose-built for a SASE architecture, delivering networking and security services together — from the cloud or on-premises — with a wide range of interface options and backward compatibility to existing WAN, LAN, and voice modules.
Powered by the fully programmable Cisco IOS XE with API support, it enables automation at scale and zero-touch provisioning as you migrate workloads to the cloud. Two models fit the tier: the C8200L for SASE-compliant cloud security at the small branch, and the C8200 for higher throughput and service flexibility. Trustworthy Solutions 2.0 protects the platform through integrity verification and threat remediation. Faltrox deploys it, configures the SD-WAN fabric and security, and operates it as part of a managed secure network.

Cisco products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.
Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01What size branch is the 8200 for?
Small and medium branch offices, at optimal price/performance. For medium-to-large branches needing higher IPsec throughput, the Catalyst 8300 Series is the step up. Faltrox scopes the right platform per site based on throughput and service needs.
02What does "SASE-ready" mean here?
The platform delivers networking and cloud-delivered security together on a Secure Access Service Edge architecture — so branch traffic is secured by cloud services (like Cisco Umbrella) rather than a stack of separate on-site appliances, accelerating the move to SASE.
03How is the platform itself protected from tampering?
Trustworthy Solutions 2.0 infrastructure secures the platform against threats and vulnerabilities through advanced integrity verification and remediation — protecting the device hardware and software supply chain, not just the traffic it carries.
04Can it use 5G for WAN?
Yes — it is 5G-ready with flexible WAN interface options, so a branch can use 5G/cellular as a primary or backup transport within the SD-WAN overlay for resilient connectivity.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We deploy the branch platforms, build the SD-WAN fabric and security policy, integrate cloud security like Umbrella, and manage and monitor the branch edge as part of the secure network we run for you.
