The Cisco ® 2010 Connected Grid Router (CGR 2010) is a rugged router designed for the harsh, rugged environments often found in the energy and utility industries. The Cisco CGR 2010 is designed to support the communications infrastructure needs of the energy delivery infrastructure across the generation, transmission, and distribution sectors. This infrastructure includes utility- and customer-owned energy infrastructure, such as substation applications supporting electrical transmission and distribution, renewable generation, oil and gas, water, distributed generation, co-generation, and trackside operations. The infrastructure also includes the communications infrastructure for delivery applications such as transmission pipelines, distribution mains, and service lines for oil, gas, and water. It is built upon the award-winning Cisco Integrated Services Router Generation 2 (ISR G2) portfolio, and provides the energy grid operator with the benefits of improved security, broadband connectivity, and network reliability. The CGR 2010 uses Cisco IOS ® Software, which is the operating system powering millions of Cisco routers deployed worldwide. Cisco IOS Software delivers the benefits of integrated security for North American Electric Reliability Corporation / Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC/CIP) compliance, quality of service, and network management to help ensure integrity and priority of operational data and nonoperational data communications.
The Cisco CGR 2010 builds on the high-quality offering of the existing Cisco 2900 Series Integrated Services Router (ISR) platforms. With embedded hardware encryption acceleration, optional firewall, and intrusion prevention, the CGR 2010 delivers integrated security to help operators comply with cyber security requirements outlined in the NERC/CIP mandates. In addition, the platform supports T1 and E1 WAN interfaces with integrated Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU) interfaces, synchronous and asynchronous serial RS-232 interfaces, and copper and fiber Gigabit Ethernet. Figure 1 provides a visual image of the CGR 2010.
