Cradlepoint BE05-1855-5GC-GN 5G Wideband Adapter
Overview
The Cradlepoint BE05-1855-5GC-GN is a managed 5G wideband adapter purpose-built for branch office and remote site WAN connectivity. It delivers simultaneous 5G and LTE network connections with a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet uplink — solving the redundancy problem when a single carrier connection isn't reliable enough and you need automatic failover without human intervention. Pole-mountable form factor fits outdoor remote sites, retail locations, and distributed infrastructure where traditional fixed broadband is unavailable or unreliable.
Compatibility
The BE05-1855-5GC-GN integrates with Cradlepoint NetCloud Branch management architecture, enabling centralized policy, monitoring, and failover orchestration across multiple branch locations. It pairs with Cradlepoint branch routers and edge appliances in managed network environments where SD-WAN or hybrid WAN control is required. Compatible with enterprise IT deployments using NetCloud for distributed site management.
Installation Notes
Designed for outdoor pole-mount installation. The dual 5G/LTE capability means you configure carrier-specific credentials and coverage preferences through NetCloud management console — no local terminal access needed. The 2.5G Ethernet port connects to your branch router or WAN aggregation point. Confirm 5G and LTE carrier coverage at the site before deployment; adapter will prioritize or failover between carriers based on NetCloud policies you define.
