Cisco Board Pro 55 G3 CS-BRDP55-G3-K9++ – TAA Compliant G3 Board

Product Overview

Federal programmes replacing older room hardware now specify the third generation, and CS-BRDP55-G3-K9++ is the TAA-compliant part number for that decision.

The ++ suffix identifies the variant Cisco offers for US federal and other TAA-constrained procurements; Cisco lists it in the published Board Pro 55 G3 main-unit ordering table.

The G3 is a better fit for government networks than earlier generations on one specific point: Cisco documents Secure Unique Device Identifier, Manufacturer Installed Certificate and Locally Significant Certificate handling, with X.509 certificates using 2048, 3072 or 4096-bit keys.

On-premises registration targets Cisco Unified Communications Manager 15 SU5 or later, or native registration with Cisco Expressway.

Product Description

Compliance and identity are the two threads a federal AV buyer has to pull. The ++ SKU handles the first at requisition; the G3 certificate feature set handles the second at deployment, because a device with a manufacturer-installed identity can be enrolled onto a managed network without a manual trust exception.

The room capability is current-generation throughout: a 55-inch 4K UHD ADS LCD panel at 350 cd/m2 with a 1:1200 contrast ratio, a dual 4K camera system with two 48 MP image sensors, a 70-degree main lens and a 112-degree wide lens, and a 14-element beamforming microphone array optimised to 4 metres (13 ft).

Audio integration is where the G3 earns its place in a larger agency room. The audio-over-IP Ethernet port carries up to eight Cisco IP conferencing microphones and supports AES67 under the L-BARPRO-AV AV Integrator License, which lets the board join an existing networked-audio design rather than sitting beside one.

Network hardening is documented: 802.1X with passphrase or X.509 client certificate, 802.1Q VLAN, 802.1p QoS/CoS, HTTP(S) and inspecting TLS proxy support, SRTP with AES-128-GCM or AES-256-GCM and secure management over HTTPS and SSH.

For install planning, Cisco publishes a board-only weight of 40.5 kg on the G3, a wall mount kit package size of 1282 x 233 x 117 mm and a floor stand kit package size of 1569 x 1151 x 189 mm, alongside the standard mounting part numbers.

Agencies specifying several room sizes can review the compliant range in our Cisco catalog, endpoints in interactive displays and room designs in medium room solutions.

Key Features

• TAA-compliant G3 part number — Cisco offers the ++ suffix SKUs for US federal and other TAA-constrained procurements and lists this one in the G3 ordering table.
• Device identity for managed networks — SUDI, Manufacturer Installed Certificate and Locally Significant Certificates with 2048, 3072 or 4096-bit X.509 keys are documented on the G3.
• AES67 networked audio — The audio-over-IP port supports up to eight Cisco IP conferencing microphones, with AES67 available under the L-BARPRO-AV license.
• Current on-premises registration — Cisco Unified Communications Manager 15 SU5 or later, or native Cisco Expressway registration, suit modern government call-control estates.
• Dual 48 MP camera system — A 70-degree main lens and a 112-degree wide lens cover table framing and full room width without an auxiliary camera.
• One-year limited liability warranty — Cisco publishes a one-year warranty for the G3 generation.

Typical Applications

• Government space — Agency rooms under TAA rules get the current generation with documented device-identity support.
• Conference room — Small and medium agency conference rooms match Cisco's stated positioning for the platform.
• Training room — Federal training spaces use the same compliant part number as the rest of the estate.
• Commercial meeting space — Contractors running mixed federal and commercial work standardise on one compliant build.
