description: Cisco Expressway is on-premises (or cloud-deployed) software for secure firewall traversal,
  B2B video, and Mobile and Remote Access (MRA) for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. It is licensed
  through Cisco Smart Licensing as part of Cisco's collaboration portfolio (Cisco Collaboration Flex
  Plan, Webex Suite, or perpetual UCM CL/Pro licenses). The Expressway management APIs (REST, SNMP, XML)
  are unlocked by the underlying product license rather than sold as a metered API; per-call pricing is
  not publicly published.
notes: No public per-API price list. Cisco Expressway capacity (registrations, calls, MRA users) is
  governed by Smart Licensing entitlements bundled with collaboration products. Replace with negotiated
  list pricing once available from a Cisco partner quote.
