    Integrated Services Routers (ISR)

    Compact branch routers with integrated SD-WAN, security, and flexible WAN.

    Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR) bring enterprise routing, integrated SD-WAN, and security to small branches and SOHO sites in a compact, cost-effective form factor. The portfolio spans Wi-Fi 6, cellular/LTE, and flexible WAN and LAN connectivity, all running Cisco IOS XE with SD-WAN and managed through Cisco Security Cloud Control. Faltrox deploys, secures, and manages them across distributed sites.

    Overview

    What Integrated Services Routers (ISR) is

    The Cisco 1000 Series ISR portfolio delivers routing fundamentals, integrated SD-WAN, and security to the small branch and SOHO in a compact, affordable package. It spans a range of models — from the high-performance small-form-factor 116x, through Wi-Fi 6 (113x), cellular modularity (112x), flexible WAN/LAN (111x), down to routing essentials (110x) — so each site gets the right connectivity without over-buying.

    Running Cisco IOS XE with SD-WAN, the ISR 1000 integrates security and networking, supports cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity, and is managed centrally through Cisco Security Cloud Control. That makes it well suited to distributed organisations with many small sites that need consistent, secure connectivity managed from one place. Faltrox deploys the routers, builds the SD-WAN fabric and security policy, and operates them across the estate.

      Provision

      Zero-touch provisioning and Cisco Security Cloud Control bring routers online and into the SD-WAN fabric.

    3. 03

      Connect

      IOS XE SD-WAN connects each small site over wired, cellular, or Wi-Fi WAN with a secure overlay.

    4. 04

      Secure

      Integrated security protects branch traffic, with policy managed centrally across the estate.

    5. 05

      Operate

      Faltrox manages and monitors the router estate through Security Cloud Control as part of ongoing operations.

    Capabilities

    Key capabilities

    Wi-Fi 6

    113x models add Wi-Fi 6 wireless LAN alongside routing for all-in-one branch connectivity.

    Flexible WAN & LAN

    A range of models covers different WAN, LAN, and modularity requirements per site.

    Integrated Security

    Security and networking converge in the router for a protected branch edge.

    Security Cloud Control

    Centralised management across many distributed sites from Cisco Security Cloud Control.

    Zero-Touch Provisioning

    Bring small sites online without on-site expertise via zero-touch provisioning.

    Delivery

    You buy the outcome, not the console

    Managed by Faltrox

    Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) 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

    01Where do the ISR 1000 routers fit versus the Catalyst 8000?

    The ISR 1000 targets small branches and SOHO sites where a compact, cost-effective router with integrated SD-WAN and security is enough. The Catalyst 8200/8300 step up for medium and large branches needing higher throughput. Faltrox matches the platform to each site.

    02Can it use cellular as its WAN?

    Yes — the 112x models bring cellular/LTE modularity, and cellular can serve as a primary or backup WAN transport within the SD-WAN overlay, which is useful for sites with limited or unreliable wired connectivity.

    03Does it include wireless?

    The 113x models add Wi-Fi 6 wireless LAN alongside routing, giving a small site an all-in-one router-plus-wireless platform rather than separate devices.

    04How are many small sites managed?

    Through Cisco Security Cloud Control, which centralises management across the router estate, combined with zero-touch provisioning so remote sites come online without on-site expertise — the key to operating many small branches efficiently.

    05How does Faltrox operate it?

    We deploy the routers, build the SD-WAN fabric and security policy, and manage and monitor the estate through Security Cloud Control — delivering secure branch connectivity as a managed service across all your small sites.
