Wireless Routers

The R2100 Series 5G Ruggedized Router is designed for vehicle and IoT deployments. This high-bandwidth, exterior-mounted solution provides mass transit, public safety, and other organizations with the latest cellular performance in a uniquely flexible and simplified form factor.

5G Ruggedized Router for High-Performance Vehicle and IoT Connectivity

The Cradlepoint R2100 Series 5G Ruggedized Router is available with the NetCloud Performance Mobile Service plan or the NetCloud Ruggedized IoT Service plan. Designed to be mounted on the roof of a vehicle or attached to IoT cabinet enclosures, the R2100 integrates the modem, antennas, and router into a single aerodynamic, ruggedized casing allowing for simplified deployment. The R2100 is sold with or without Wi-Fi 6 and can be deployed as a self-contained router or to supplement an existing router as a 5G adapter.

High Performance Captive Modem

Customers can add 5G to a current installation by deploying the R2100 series as a Captive Modem with supported Cradlepoint controlling routers. This allows them both to be managed in NetCloud Manager as a single entity. The NetCloud management system treats the R2100 as an internal modem, eliminating the need for a separate license. Similarly, for select controlling routers, the R2100 Series can serve as an additional Wi-Fi source in captive mode to expand coverage for applications such as video offload. The R2100 Series can be PoE powered while providing a high-performance 5G connection over Ethernet.

The Ericsson Cradlepoint R980 is a ruggedized, secure appliance and router that broadens access to the increased speed and performance of 5G to support advanced applications and critical communications. Designed for the 5G future, it is 5G network slicing ready with the deployment flexibility of eSIMs which allow carrier switching without changing physical SIMs. (eSIM will be functional with future NetCloud releases.) It is a ruggedized 5G networking platform able to withstand wide temperature extremes, harsh environments, and hazardous locations while delivering enterprise-class standards of reliability, scalability, comprehensive management, and security. The R980 is available with either Mobile or Ruggedized IoT NetCloud service plans, providing features optimized for the needs of the differing deployments. The R980 also supports NetCloud Exchange and SASE services, which provide Zero Trust Network Access and cellular-optimized SD-WAN.

High-Performance Vehicle Connectivity

The Ericsson Cradlepoint R980 router with an Ericsson NetCloud Mobile service plan provides a ruggedized GNSS/GPS-enabled in-vehicle network solution. When coupled with the Advanced Mobile service plan, it provides threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality such as location tracking and cellular coverage maps. The R980 with SD-WAN provides resilient in-vehicle connections by optimizing traffic across LTE, 5G, 5G stand-alone network slices, satellite, and Wi-Fi as WAN.

Ruggedized IoT Solution

When combined with an Ericsson NetCloud Ruggedized IoT service plan, the R980 provides a versatile, ruggedized 5G router solution for connecting and protecting IoT devices at scale. It can be deployed in a wide range of environmentally harsh IoT use cases such as oil and gas, utility, and smart city infrastructure, in addition to next-gen kiosks, and video surveillance, deployments. The ruggedized design and CBRS band support make it ideal for private networks. In addition, the solution is highly extensible with APIs, SDKs, and integrations into IoT platforms, and the generous memory supports onboard edge containers.

Cradlepoint's NetCloud Mobile Performance Service with the R1900 Series Router is a ruggedized 5G networking platform, designed to provide persistent connectivity for in-vehicle deployments. Cradlepoint NetCloud provides connectivity, network, security, location, and IoT services to connect everything in the vehicle, while providing access to IT for remote management, troubleshooting, and analytics.

Ideal for High-Performance In-Vehicle Connectivity

For organizations that depend on field forces and mobile networks, the Cradlepoint R1900 Series Router with the NetCloud Mobile Performance Service plan provides a ruggedized GNSS/GPS-enabled in-vehicle network solution. When coupled with the Advanced Mobile Performance Service plan, it provides threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality including location tracking and cellular coverage maps. The R1900 accommodates environmentally harsh environments while delivering enterprise-class standards of reliability, scalability, comprehensive management, and security.

5G Embedded High-Performance Solution

The R1900 mobile router includes an embedded 5G modem that can automatically connect to Cat 20 LTE if the vehicle moves outside of 5G coverage. In addition, the R1900 Series Router is designed to accept the RX30 managed accessories which provide either four additional GbE PoE ports or four additional GbE ports and a second modular modem. It also has the ability to act as a controller for a separate Cradlepoint 5G Wideband Adapter. These two capabilities, along with the continually improved NetCloud platform, ensure the ability for future expansion and the best investment protection available.

Key Software Capabilities

Cradlepoint NetCloud Mobile Performance Service with the R1900 mobile router provides everything needed to unlock the power of 5G and connect vehicles, users, and IoT to critical applications and services. NetCloud includes router software for optimizing routing, VPN, SD-WAN, and security capabilities along with capabilities centralized in the cloud such as group policy definition, reports, troubleshooting, and analytics dashboards as well as cellular coverage maps. The service comes with a warranty for as long as there is an active subscription on the router, online training, live and online support, and continuous software updates for both the router and the modem.

Coverage Map

NetCloud uses GNSS/GPS and 5G/4G cellular health to provide precise analytics about location and signal strength. Data can be mapped to display both the current and historical locations of a vehicle, as well as generate detailed coverage maps that display cellular health, allowing users to gain operational insights and solve problems.

Advanced Software Lifecycle Management

NetCloud improves the typical software lifecycle management process. New features are continuously delivered to NetCloud and become available for the router without interrupting network performance. Software versions are tracked for every endpoint, with the latest update just a click away. Straightforward subscription and license management is easily accessible and provided to keep the network running without interruption.

Security Services

NetCloud Advanced Service includes security features that include application aware zone-based firewall, CP Secure Threat Management (IPS/IDS), and CP Secure Web Filter for protecting your network and meeting the evolving security needs of in-vehicle environments.
