Cradlepoint MB01-2155-5GB-GA 1-Year Netcloud Mobile 5G Essentials Plan with R2155 Router
Overview
The MB01-2155-5GB-GA is a one-year Netcloud Mobile Performance Essentials Plan subscription bundled with the Cradlepoint R2155 5G router — packaged as a single procurable SKU for organizations that need cloud-managed cellular WAN without sourcing hardware and software licenses separately. The Essentials Plan tier delivers centralized policy management, network visibility, and cloud dashboard access through Cradlepoint's Netcloud platform for the duration of the subscription term. The R2155 operates in captive modem mode, meaning it functions as a dedicated modem under the control of a primary router or SD-WAN appliance rather than acting as an independent router — a deployment pattern common in primary-failover or out-of-band management architectures. This bundle suits fleet vehicles, remote industrial sites, and temporary deployments where a managed 5G connection is needed and the licensing and hardware need to arrive together.
Compatibility
This SKU is built around the Cradlepoint R2155 router and Netcloud Mobile Performance plan tier. The captive modem operating mode integrates with Cradlepoint's SD-WAN and enterprise mobile routers that support a subordinate modem connection — confirm your primary appliance supports captive modem pairing before ordering. The Netcloud Essentials subscription tier is distinct from Advanced and Business Continuity tiers; verify plan feature requirements against your network management and failover needs before selecting this bundle. Consult Cradlepoint's plan comparison matrix if SD-WAN policy features or advanced analytics are required, as those may sit in a higher tier.
Installation Notes
Because the R2155 is configured in captive modem mode under this plan, the device will not function as a standalone router out of the box. Integration requires a compatible primary router or SD-WAN controller to manage the R2155 as a modem endpoint. Provision the Netcloud subscription through the Netcloud Manager portal before deploying hardware.
