Cisco ASR1001-X 5G Base Bundle, 6x1G, AES | Carrier Router — CON-L1NBD-ASR100GK

Keep critical traffic flowing at the enterprise edge with the Cisco ASR1001-X 5G Base Bundle. Built for WAN aggregation and secure branch connectivity, this platform combines built-in 6x1G interfaces with AES support to help protect sensitive traffic as it moves between sites, data centers, and cloud-connected services. For teams that need more than a basic router, the ASR1001-X is designed to support demanding edge roles where uptime, policy control, and predictable forwarding matter. Its integrated port set reduces the need for add-on modules in common deployments, while the 5G base bundle positions the platform for environments that require stronger routing capability and room for growth. Cisco’s ASR family is often selected where lower-cost routers fall short on resilience, security, and operational consistency. This model fits well in distributed enterprise networks that need a compact carrier-grade platform for branch aggregation, secure transport, and controlled WAN access. It is a practical choice when the cost of downtime, packet loss, or limited interface density is higher than the cost of a more capable router. Ideal For Branch WAN aggregation for distributed enterprise sites Secure site-to-site routing between offices and data centers Edge routing for organizations standardizing on Cisco infrastructure Compact carrier-grade deployment where integrated 1G ports matter Why This Product 1 Built-in 6 x 1G ports reduce dependency on expansion hardware 2 AES support suits secure routed traffic at the edge 3 Carrier-grade design fits enterprise WAN aggregation 4 Cisco platform choice for standardized infrastructure teams
