Ericsson Cradlepoint routers, adapters and NetCloud
Coordinate the router or adapter, carrier and SIM, antennas, NetCloud licensing, mounting and failover validation.
Portfolio and infrastructure context
Ericsson Cradlepoint provides cellular routers, adapters and endpoints managed through NetCloud. The appropriate family depends on branch, vehicle, IoT or fixed-wireless use, required modem and carrier support, Ethernet and Wi-Fi needs, throughput and environmental conditions.
A cellular deployment includes the device, subscription, SIM or eSIM, antenna system, cable length, mounting, power and carrier provisioning. Signal bars alone are not acceptance. Antenna placement and radio metrics should be compared under representative load, and external antennas must be matched to supported bands and device connectors.
NetCloud licensing, account ownership, device grouping, configuration and firmware responsibility are established before staging. Failover testing should confirm application behavior, routing and recovery—not merely show that a modem connected.
Product families in the design
Use the platform roles below to build a complete bill of materials and avoid treating unlike components as substitutes.
Branch routers
Primary or backup WAN appliances for fixed locations.
Cellular adapters
Cellular WAN presented to an existing router or firewall.
Mobile and IoT endpoints
Rugged and specialized devices for vehicles or distributed equipment.
NetCloud
Cloud inventory, configuration, health, licensing and lifecycle operations.
Infrastructure decisions before release
These decisions affect pathways, racks, power, media, testing and future service.
Carrier compatibility
Verify model, modem, bands, SIM, plan and provisioning.
Antenna path
Assess location, cable loss, connectors, grounding and measured signal quality.
WAN role
Define primary, backup, out-of-band or application-specific routing.
Cloud ownership
Set NetCloud account, license, group, template and update responsibilities.
Acceptance and closeout evidence
Turnover should show that the installed infrastructure supports the approved design and can be maintained.
- Record signal metrics and throughput at the approved antenna location.
- Test primary-to-cellular failover and recovery with representative applications.
- Verify NetCloud inventory, configuration, license and firmware visibility.
- Deliver device, modem, SIM, antenna, cable, power and mount records.
