Will the HWIC-3G-CDMA-V work on a 1721 router?

[ptweedie]

I am working on a backup system for my WAN. Verizon quoted the HWIC-3G-CDMA-V to work with my Cisco 1721 router. I have a bunch on these routers on a shelf and thought I would use them for the 3G network. Looking at the Cisco web site it does not list the 1721 as being able to work with this HWIC. I thought it might not be listed as the 1700 series are End of life. Does anyone know whether it will work?

Hey Phillip,

From this link, it looks they are not compatible.

Physically it WILL NOT fit into the slot of the 1721 router because the pins at the back do not match.

Thanks for the rating Phillip.
