5G, all-in-one, industrial-grade routing and switching platform
The Cisco® Catalyst® IR8300 Rugged Series Router is Cisco’s first industrial-grade fully integrated routing and
switching platform. Built on the Cisco Unified Access® Data Plane (UADP) Application-Specific Integrated Circuit
(ASIC) and Quantum Flow Processor (QFP), which powers the industry-leading Cisco Catalyst products, the
IR8300 is designed to provide outstanding flexibility and adaptability to address the latest needs of the network
evolution. The IR8300 supports U.S. public safety FirstNet services and new 5G services and is built for
accelerated services, multilayer security, and edge intelligence. It can be deployed in the harsh, rugged
environments found in the energy, transportation, and oil and gas industries.

The Catalyst IR8300 is designed to support the communications needs of the energy delivery infrastructure.
This infrastructure includes substation applications supporting electrical transmission and distribution,
renewable generation, oil and gas, water, distributed generation, co-generation, and trackside operations.
Additional applications include transmission pipelines, distribution mains, and service lines for oil and gas and
water. Router has been extensively tested to meet challenging substation compliance standards, including IEEE
1613 and IEC 61850-3.

The Catalyst IR8300 with Cisco IOS® XE supports Cisco vManage, delivering Cisco’s secure, cloud-scale SD-
WAN solution. It is purpose-built for high performance and integrated SD-WAN services, with the flexibility to
deliver security and networking services together from the cloud or on premises. Powered by the Cisco IOS XE
fully programmable software architecture with API support, the platform can facilitate automation at scale. It
comes with a Trustworthy Solutions 2.0 infrastructure that secures the platform against threats and
vulnerabilities with integrity verification and remediation of threats.

Overall platform benefits

Accelerated services with Cisco Software-Defined WAN

Cisco SD-WAN is a set of intelligent software services that allows you to connect users, devices, and branch
office locations reliably and securely across a diverse set of WAN transport links. The Catalyst IR8300 router
can dynamically route traffic across the “best” link based on up-to-the-minute application and network
conditions for great application experiences. You get granular control over application performance, bandwidth
usage, data privacy, and availability of your WAN links—control you need as your branches conduct greater
volumes of mission-critical business with both on-premises and cloud controllers. With dual 5G module support
on this platform customers can have multiple wireless carrier options to route their WAN traffic depending upon
their needs.

Application performance optimization

Enable SD-WAN networks to meet Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) and maintain strong performance, even if
network problems occur. With branch multicloud access, you can accelerate your Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) applications with a simple template push from the SD-WAN controller. Features such as Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) optimization, Forward Error Correction, and packet duplication help improve application
performance for a better user experience.

Multilayer security

You can now move your traditional and complex WAN networks to a more agile software-defined WAN with
integrated security. The Catalyst IR8300 Rugged Router connects branch offices to the internet and cloud, with
industry-leading protection against major web attacks. Secure Direct Internet Access (DIA) to the branches
helps optimize branch workloads for improved performance, specifically for cloud-hosted applications. At the
same time, DIA helps protect your branches from external threats.

Ability to run Cisco® Cyber Vision or Unified Threat Defense allows organizations to ensure the continuity,
resilience, and safety of their industrial operations by providing continuous visibility into their industrial control
networks and managing the risks of cyber attacks.

Cloud-native agility with a programmable software architecture

Cisco continues to offer a feature-rich traditional Cisco IOS XE routing stack on the Catalyst IR8300 platform. IP
routing, IPsec, Quality of Service (QoS), firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), Network-Based
Application Recognition (NBAR), Flexible NetFlow (FNF), L2 Loop Protection & Redundancy Protocols and many
other features are part of Cisco IOS XE, a fully programmable software architecture with API support and a wide
variety of protocols and configurations. With an integrated software image and a single binary file, you can now
choose between Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN and Cisco IOS XE. And you can easily move from one to the other
when you choose to do so.

5G

The Catalyst IR8300 Rugged Series Router is built for 5G networks. With higher throughputs with Cat18 LTE and
5G, WAN networks are looking at wireless WAN as primary transports for different use cases. The IR8300
supports both integrated pluggable modules and external cellular gateway modules with LTE/5G capability for
improved throughputs that address these use cases. Based on a specific branch’s direct line of sight and
cellular coverage, either an integrated or external gateway can be chosen.

Resiliency and high availability

Platform redundancy is critical for branch operations, as any downtime has a direct impact on a customer’s
business. To address that priority, Cisco makes a dual power supply the default on the Catalyst IR8300 to help
ensure that backup power is available in case the primary power supply fails.
