The 1605-R is intended as a desktop solution, making it convenient for installations where vertical rack space is limited.
One of the standout features of the Cisco 1605-R is its inclusion of two slots for WAN interface cards (WICs), offering flexibility for its users to add additional connectivity options, such as ISDN or serial interfaces, based on the specific requirements of the network.
