Cradlepoint ECNP-501I-0000 5-Year Private 5G with Baseband
Overview
The ECNP-501I-0000 is a managed private 5G network infrastructure service bundled as a 5-year subscription contract. It pairs one Ericsson Baseband 6621 unit with Cradlepoint's NetCloud management platform, providing the foundation for dedicated, on-premise 5G deployment. This is a service plan, not a standalone hardware product — it solves the problem of building isolated, operator-controlled cellular networks in campus facilities, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and secured perimeters where public network dependency or coverage gaps create operational risk. The 5-year term locks in service continuity and support, eliminating contract renewal uncertainty during deployments.
Compatibility
The ECNP-501I-0000 integrates within Cradlepoint's Ericsson Private 5G (ECNP) ecosystem. The bundled Ericsson Baseband 6621 is the active radio access network (RAN) component; it connects to Cradlepoint's NetCloud management and orchestration layer for provisioning, monitoring, and failover. Compatible deployment environments include industrial campuses, logistics facilities, hospitals, and enterprise security zones requiring private cellular backbone. The service assumes existing site infrastructure (fiber backhaul, power, climate control) suitable for telecom-grade equipment — confirm site readiness before provisioning. NetCloud service integration is mandatory; standalone baseband operation is not supported under this SKU.
Installation Notes
This is a service contract paired with hardware provisioning — not a plug-and-play accessory. Deployment requires Cradlepoint pre-sales engineering engagement to verify site capacity (backhaul bandwidth, power delivery, RF environment survey), configure baseband licensing, and establish NetCloud tenant and device management. Lead time and commissioning timeline vary by site complexity. Contact Cradlepoint directly for pricing, provisioning schedule, and site assessment.
