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