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.
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.
