Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Carrier-grade ASR1000 performance in 1RU. Professionally tested. Backed by 25+ years of enterprise trust.
This refurbished Cisco ASR1001 Aggregation Services Router has been professionally tested and reset to factory defaults, delivering the same performance and reliability as new at a fraction of the cost. Part of Cisco's ASR1000 series, the ASR1001 is a 1RU platform purpose-built for enterprise edge, service-provider access, and high-density WAN environments — and this unit ships with dual power supplies for added redundancy.The ASR1001 is powered by Cisco's QuantumFlow Processor (QFP), an embedded hardware engine that accelerates services such as NAT, firewall, QoS, NetFlow, and IPsec encryption without the need for additional hardware modules. System throughput starts at 2.5 Gbps and is upgradeable to 5 Gbps via software license. The integrated Route Processor and Embedded Services Processor work in tandem under Cisco IOS XE, a modular operating system that supports nonstop forwarding, In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU), and stateful switchover — capabilities that matter in mission-critical deployments.
At $130, the ASR1001 represents exceptional value for organizations that need proven ASR1000-class routing without new-hardware pricing. WhaleyComm's ISO 9001, R2v3, and e-Stewards certifications ensure every unit meets strict quality and sustainability standards before it ships.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise WAN Aggregation
The ASR1001 consolidates multiple WAN connections at the network edge, delivering up to 5 Gbps of throughput with hardware-accelerated QoS and NetFlow — eliminating the need for separate service appliances.
MPLS L2 and L3 VPN Deployments
Full support for MPLS L2VPN, L3VPN, Traffic Engineering, Fast Reroute, and Segment Routing makes the ASR1001 a capable PE or CPE platform in service-provider and enterprise MPLS networks.
High-Performance IPsec and DMVPN Hub
Built-in hardware crypto acceleration and native support for IPsec, DMVPN, and GETVPN allow the ASR1001 to function as a high-throughput VPN hub without external encryption appliances.
Service Provider CPE and Edge Routing
The ASR1001's carrier-grade reliability, ISSU support, and compact 1RU footprint make it well-suited for service provider customer premises and edge routing roles where uptime and density matter.
Data Center Edge Routing
With 10GE SFP+ uplinks, hardware-accelerated services, and nonstop forwarding capabilities, the ASR1001 serves as a reliable edge routing platform in data center environments requiring high availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The ASR1001 ships with a base throughput of 2.5 Gbps. Throughput can be upgraded to 5 Gbps through a Cisco software license applied to the existing hardware — no additional modules or chassis changes are required. Confirm the active license on any unit before deployment.
The ASR1001 includes a built-in hardware crypto engine that accelerates IPsec, DMVPN, and GETVPN processing via the QuantumFlow Processor. This means encryption services run without the severe throughput penalty seen on software-only platforms, making it suitable for high-volume VPN hub deployments.
Yes, the ASR1001 runs Cisco IOS XE. Feature availability — including Segment Routing, GETVPN, and maximum throughput licensing — depends on the IOS XE release and license tier installed. Contact our engineering team at +1 214 607-4800 or sales@whaleycomm.com to confirm software compatibility for your environment.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
