3G Wireless WAN HWIC Overview
The 3G wireless HWIC is a multiband, multiservice WAN card. Its primary application is WAN
connectivity as a backup datalink for critical data applications and as a primary WAN connection. It
supports the Cisco 1800 series, the Cisco 2800 series and the Cisco 3800 series integrated service
routers (Cisco ISRs).
The 3G wireless WAN HWIC houses one cellular modem for connection to a wireless WAN. There are
two different cellular modem (wireless WAN) HWIC versions based on 3G cellular technologies:
HWIC-3G-GSM
