The Cisco 3200 Series Mobile Access Router is intended for use in moving vehicles such as aeroplanes, ships and trains and is designed for ‘always-on’ connectivity.

It is a compact access router that makes use of the Mobile IP standard to deliver new, mission-critical applications for the defence, public safety and commercial transportation markets. Mobile Networks Software, further extends the value of Mobile IP by allowing an entire network, not just a single client, to stay connected while in motion.

The Mobile Access Router addresses the key communications challenges faced by users who require access to information, regardless of movement or location. These challenges include the requirements for seamless mobility while roaming among wireless networks; unique power, size and weight specifications to fit equipment in vehicles; maintaining network security policies; and interoperability between the networks and applications of different organisations or agencies.

The Cisco 3200 Series addresses these needs with features that are designed to maximise ‘always-on’-or uninterrupted and secure connectivity-for personnel and organisations that require real-time access to mission-critical information while in motion.

The Cisco Mobile Access Router supports Cisco’s vision for network-centric mobility by enabling the evolution of standards-based IP communications with uninterrupted access to information for networks in motion. With this communications transformation, public safety personnel, for example, can now make real-time, and often life-saving decisions with information at their fingertips. This real-time access empowers personnel to make faster, better, more informed decisions, ultimately increasing their productivity and effectiveness in the field. Today, rich applications such as IP video surveillance, mug shot and fingerprint scanners, law enforcement data systems, and government agency databases can now be accessed in real-time by agency, field, and headquarters personnel.

Support for industry-standard IP enables the Cisco 3200 Series to accommodate any type of standard wireless connection, with IP traffic remaining independent of the wireless transmission medium.

Based on the industry-standard PC/104-PLUS architecture, the router is suitable for use in harsh vehicular environments and measures 9 x 9.5cm. The high-speed microprocessor and PCI communications bus, along with the high-capacity memory, enable the Cisco 3200 Series to provide the level of performance necessary to support advanced IP applications.

Advanced security features such as firewall protection and encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs) aim to keep data secure over a public WAN infrastructure. Standards-based IP technology provides the common protocol to allow connectivity across separate wireless infrastructures and frequency  bands.
