Cisco Board Pro 55 G2 CS-BRDP55-NR-K9= – No-Radio Spare Unit

Product Overview

Secure rooms fail at the same rate as any others, but they cannot be repaired from general stock. CS-BRDP55-NR-K9= is the no-radio Board Pro 55 G2 spare that keeps the fix inside the room's approved configuration.

Cisco lists Wi-Fi 6/6E as not available in non-radio versions and Bluetooth 5.2 as not available on the No-Radio model, and the trailing equals sign designates the part as a service unit.

Substituting a standard radio-equipped board during a repair changes the equipment list the facility signed off, which is a paperwork problem rather than a technical one and usually a slower one to resolve.

Underneath, the unit is the full G2 platform: 55-inch 4K UHD touch panel, dual 48 MP camera sensors, 14-element beamforming microphone array and integrated loudspeakers.

Product Description

The argument for holding this SKU is availability rather than price. No-radio variants are ordered in smaller volumes than standard ones, so the lead time after a failure is the risk being managed, not the unit cost.

The swap itself is routine. The board attaches on the existing 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN port, authenticated with 802.1X by passphrase or X.509 client certificate, and the Cisco Room Navigator re-pairs over the 802.3af PoE port with its 15.4 W budget.

Content paths are wired and unchanged: USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode at 4Kp60 with up to 60 W power delivery and an HDCP-compatible HDMI 2.0 type A input at 4Kp60, with two HDMI 2.0 type A outputs at 4Kp60 available downstream.

Security posture is preserved because the platform documentation is the same: 802.1Q VLAN, 802.1p QoS/CoS, SRTP using AES-128-GCM or AES-256-GCM, H.235 v3 with AES-128 or AES-256, and secure management over HTTPS and SSH.

Registration options after the swap include Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later, Cisco Expressway, third-party H.323 gatekeepers and standards-based SIP proxies, from RoomOS 11.15. Related equipment is listed in interactive displays and device and room control.

Key Features

• No-radio service unit — The build matches a deployed no-radio board exactly, so the room's approved equipment list is unchanged by the repair.
• Radios not fitted — Cisco lists Wi-Fi 6/6E as not available in non-radio versions and Bluetooth 5.2 as not available on the No-Radio model.
• Hedge against lead time — Low-volume variants take longer to source after a failure, which is the risk a shelf spare removes.
• Documented network authentication — 802.1X with a passphrase or an X.509 client certificate, plus 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1p QoS/CoS.
• Wired content sharing retained — USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode at 4Kp60 and HDMI 2.0 type A at 4Kp60 keep the room working without wireless.
• Existing peripherals reused — The Room Navigator, table microphones and mounting hardware all stay in place through the swap.

Typical Applications

• Government space — Accredited rooms are restored without altering the documented equipment list.
• Conference room — Wireless-free conference rooms in regulated businesses stay compliant through a repair.
• Commercial meeting space — Healthcare and laboratory sites with RF policies hold a matching spare per building.
• Training room — Controlled teaching spaces return to service inside the same timetable week.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a standard board be used to repair a no-radio room?

Not where the room approval excluded wireless emitters. The standard build includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which changes the documented configuration.

What is not available on this build?

Cisco lists Wi-Fi 6/6E as not available in non-radio versions and Bluetooth 5.2 as not available on the No-Radio model.

Does the spare come with mounting hardware?

A wall mount kit ships by default and is omitted when a floor stand or wall stand is selected. On a repair the existing mount is normally reused.

How is the board authenticated on the network?

802.1X network authentication using a passphrase or an X.509 client certificate, with 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1p QoS/CoS.

Which encryption does the platform use?

SRTP with AES-128-GCM or AES-256-GCM, and H.235 v3 with AES-128 or AES-256.

What software release is required?

RoomOS 11.15 or later for the Board Pro 55 G2.

What warranty applies?

Cisco publishes a 90-day limited liability warranty for this product class. Warranty is handled per Cisco's standard terms; contact Creation Networks to confirm coverage for your order.
