Overview

• Cisco Catalyst Wireless Gateways extend an enterprise network to remote workers, providing numerous advantages:
  • Hardware-based stable connectivity to an enterprise VPN
  • Optimized network performance with Wi-Fi 6
  • Cellular network connectivity, in supporting models, providing a cellular internet connection (with one active and one standby SIM) for uninterrupted internet connectivity
  • Separate service set identifiers (SSIDs) for connecting work and personal devices
• Cisco Catalyst Wireless Gateway connectivity is as follows:
  • The Cisco Catalyst Wireless Gateway CG113-W6 accesses the internet using a wired WAN connection at a remote site.
  • The Cisco Catalyst Wireless Gateway CG113-4GW6 accesses the internet using a wired WAN connection at a remote site or using a cellular link. The device supports two SIM cards: one active, and one on standby. If the wired WAN connection fails, the device fails over to the cellular link to ensure internet connectivity.
    Note
    The device has a single cellular connection, so only one SIM can be active at a given time. You can configure which of the two SIM slots serves as primary and which serves as secondary (failover).
