Cradlepoint 170594-002 Verizon 4FF Ruggedized SIM Card
Overview
The Cradlepoint 170594-002 is a Verizon ruggedized 4FF (Nano-SIM) form factor card engineered for mobile broadband deployments in Cradlepoint cellular routers and modems. Use this when you need cellular failover or primary WAN connectivity at branch offices, remote sites, or field operations where standard SIM cards fail under vibration, temperature swing, or moisture exposure — ruggedized construction survives what consumer-grade SIMs cannot.
Compatibility
The 170594-002 works with Cradlepoint routers and cellular modems supporting 4FF Verizon SIM cards. Confirm your device accepts 4FF form factor (Nano-SIM standard) before ordering — older equipment may require 3FF (Micro-SIM) instead. This card is restricted to Verizon retail or VPP accounts, so verify your Verizon service agreement supports it.
Installation Notes
Insert the SIM into your Cradlepoint device's SIM slot, ensuring the chip contacts face the reader. Most Cradlepoint routers require a reboot to detect the new SIM and establish cellular service. If the device does not recognize the card within two minutes of insertion, power-cycle the router and check for any firmware updates that may improve SIM compatibility. Activation is handled through Verizon's provisioning system — contact your Verizon account manager to activate the SIM once it is physically inserted.
