Customers who are using the Cisco 2600XM and 2691 routers are encouraged to migrate to the Cisco 2800 Series for secure integrated services, or to the Cisco 3800 Series for more concurrent services or support for WAN link speeds up to T3/E3 or ATM OC-3. The Cisco 2800 Series is designed to meet both performance and density requirements for the delivery of highly secure, concurrent services, without compromising performance.

The integrated services routing architecture of the Cisco 2800 Series builds on the Cisco 2600XM and 2691 multiservice access routers and adds features that deliver the performance, availability, and reliability required for scaling mission-critical business applications in the most demanding business environments. The Cisco 2800 Series provides significant additional value compared to prior generations of Cisco routers at similar price points by offering up to a fivefold performance improvement, and up to a tenfold increase in security and voice performance. The award-winning Cisco 3800 Series routers help you simplify deployment and management, lower the costs and complexities of your network, and support mission-critical business applications by providing a secure platform with secure T3/E3 wire-speed delivery of data, voice, video, wireless, and application optimisation services.
