Core Product Positioning
The Cisco IR829-LTE-MOD is an internal hot-swappable pluggable 4G LTE cellular modem daughter card designed exclusively for the Cisco IR829 rugged industrial ISR router series. It delivers primary or backup wireless WAN connectivity for remote IoT sites, transportation fleets, utility substations and field deployments. When installed inside the IR829 chassis, it establishes cellular IP transport, supports dual SIM carrier redundancy, GPS location tracking, and integrates fully with Cisco IOS routing, security and SD-WAN functionality. This module enables flexible upgrade and field replacement of cellular connectivity without replacing the entire industrial router chassis.
