Ideal for High-Performance Mobile Connectivity
For organisations that depend on field forces and mobile networks, the Cradlepoint R1900 mobile router with the NetCloud Mobile Performance Service plan provides a ruggedised 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 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.
Support
The NetCloud Solution Packages bring together Cradlepoint’s award-winning software plus hardware and support—specifically tailored to deliver networking best practices and the compelling value of secure networking for the modern branch.
Purpose-built for small and medium branches, the AER Series replaces multiple “boxes” with a compact, cost-effective all-in-one branch solution. Each model supports multiple WAN connections, up to two 4G LTE dual-SIM modems, a multi-port Ethernet switch (some with PoE support), and 802.11ac WiFi with guest portal.
Each solution is powered by Linux-based NetCloud OS software that provides advanced routing, SD-WAN, failover, and security functionality. Everything is configured, deployed, and managed in the cloud from a single pane of glass with NetCloud Manager.
Branch Networks
Branch networks are undergoing dramatic change. Cloud applications and IoT devices demand direct Internet access while voice and video traffic is on the rise, and temporary sites, like retail kiosks and portable construction offices, are increasingly common—driving traditional enterprise WANs to their breaking point. Cradlepoint NetCloud Branch Solutions with Gigabit-Class LTE connectivity provide bandwidth, flexibility, and reliability businesses need to address these changes and create an easier to manage, lower cost and more agile branch.
No Subscription
Cradlepoint’s Elastic EdgeSM vision provides a blueprint for next-generation Edge Networks that deliver pervasive broadband connectivity, cloud-like agility, and software extensibility—all while ensuring enterprise-class visibility, security, and control. All-in-one NetCloud Solution Packages for Branch Networks, based on Advanced Edge Routers (AER), are cloud-managed, and deployable anywhere in days, not months.
Gigabit-Class LTE with Pathway to 5G
Cradlepoint is leading the wireless WAN revolution with Gigabit-Class LTE network solutions capable of download speeds faster than wired broadband —and that’s just the beginning. With 5G right around the corner, Cradlepoint is at the forefront of delivering the all-wireless, software-defined branch—with the performance necessary for today's business applications, and tomorrow’s. Whether moving to an all wireless solution or adding Gigabit-Class connectivity as an alternate WAN link, Cradlepoint Branch solutions delivers unprecedented speed and agility now, while providing a pathway to 5G in the future.
Comprehensive IoT Support
To accommodate the security, computing, and management requirements for branch IoT devices at the WAN edge, Cradlepoint’s branch solutions provide comprehensive IoT support. The NetCloud platform allows organisations to run Edge Computing applications right on the router. The NetCloud Perimeter feature uses Software-Defined Perimeter technology to instantly spin up secure and segmented device-to-cloud overlay networks, cloaking them from the Internet and protecting trusted networks. Everything is configured, deployed, and managed using NetCloud Manager.
