Captive Modem and Captive Wi-Fi allows the Ericsson Cradlepoint R2105 to act as a 5G adapter and additional Wi-Fi source for the controlling router. The devices perform and are managed by Ericsson NetCloud Manager as a single entity.

Product description

In some instances, Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G and LTE adapters may need to be placed in an optimal indoor or outdoor location to receive the best cellular signal. Captive Modem mode allows Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G and LTE adapters to connect with Ericsson Cradlepoint routers in separate physical locations while allowing the devices to perform and be managed by NetCloud as a single entity. An Ericsson Cradlepoint router acts as the controller to the distinct Captive Modem adapter accessory for the deployment, management, and reduced licensing costs to take effect.

In Captive Modem mode, the Ericsson Cradlepoint adapter accessory is seen in NetCloud as a Wi-Fi interface with the same functionality as embedded Wi-Fi radios, in addition to a modem WAN interface that shares all the same Wireless WAN functionality as embedded modems such as Smart WAN Selection, WAN Verify, and failover/failback.

Captive Modem mode allows a Ericsson Cradlepoint R2155 to act as a 5G adapter when connected with a Ericsson Cradlepoint controlling router. The devices perform and are managed by Ericsson NetCloud Manager as a single entity.

Ericsson Cradlepoint W1855

Outdoor 5G low-and mid-band adapter to add primary or failover connectivity

Passthrough Throughput: 2 Gbps

Dual Connectivity: 5G Low/Mid-Band & Cat 19 LTE

LAN Connectivity: 2.5 GbE

Management: Ericsson NetCloud

When fiber is not an option or link diversity is needed

The W1855 provides industry-leading Wireless WAN connectivity for optimal signal reception from outdoor installations on buildings and temporary sites that require high bandwidth, when fiber is not an option or link diversity is needed. Other use cases include high-performance cellular connections in SD-WAN, high-performance failover in medium-sized sites, and video broadcasts. This adapter uses a 3GPP Release 16 modem that includes the latest 5G standards.
