Support for P-LTE-450 Pluggable Interface Module
The Cisco Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Series Router now supports the 450MHz category P Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Pluggable Interface Module (PIM), referred to as P-LTE-450. The LTE-450 PIM uses the 450MHz frequency to address LTE use cases primarily targeting utility, public safety, and critical infrastructure maintained by public organizations in Europe and other countries. The module supports only Band 31 and 72, which are the LTE operating frequency bands. Due to hardware limitations, P-LTE-450 is supported only on slot 0/4.
Unlike regular LTE modules, the P-LTE-450 has some differences on the IOS-XE platform. Some of the key differences are:
-
IP pass through is on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces rather than cellular interfaces.
-
Troubleshooting commands are from the Web user interface of third-party hardware.
 Note |
Throughout the user documentation, you can see the module referred to as P-LTE-450, the Cisco product name. The module is designed and manufactured by Intelliport, which refers to it as the IPS-701. Both names are present in the documentation. |
