Cisco IR1000 Rugged Series Secure Routers - ultra-compact, ultra-low power industrial routers with threat protection for critical infrastructure. They enable secure and resilient connectivity where space, power, and security requirements leave no room for tradeoffs, such as grid networks, roadways infrastructure and oil and gas pipelines.

The new Cisco IR1000 Rugged Series Secure Routers are designed for deployments requiring ultracompact, ultra-low power demands while maintaining high resiliency, robust security, and adaptability to support lifecycles in extreme environments.

• Ultra-compact. Cisco's smallest industrial router by 40% fitting into tight spaces with flexible mounting options
• Ultra-low power. Measuring at just under 5W when deployed with the new 5G pluggable interface module, the IR1000 is designed for solar- or battery-powered deployments. Its sleep mode offers the most efficient way of delivering critical data while managing energy consumption
• Comprehensive threat protection for critical infrastructure: OT-aware NGFW capabilities such as stateful inspection, application awareness, intrusion prevention, malware protection, and continuous threat intelligence updates powered by Cisco Talos. This ensures robust security at the industrial edge without compromising performance
• Modular cellular backhaul including the option for the all new 5G Reduced Capability pluggable interface module, featuring support for SGP.32 eSIM standard for over-the-air remote SIM provisioning
• AI at the edge. Collect and transform data from assets using intelligence hosted right on the router.

The IR1000 is designed to withstand hostile environments, including shock, dust, humidity and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). This durability makes it ideal for harsh industrial and distributed IoT deployments such as transportation, oil and gas, distribution substations, industrial automation, and financial institutions.
