Cradlepoint TAA-170801-000 Cellular Antenna
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-170801-000 is a charcoal-finish cellular antenna engineered for integration with Cradlepoint mobile broadband gateways and connectivity solutions. This antenna handles cellular signal reception and transmission in field and remote deployments where fixed-line connectivity is absent or unreliable. The TAA-170801-000 is the Trade Agreements Act–compliant variant of the base 170801-000 model, meeting federal procurement requirements for U.S. government and enterprise deployments.
Compatibility
The TAA-170801-000 pairs with Cradlepoint cellular-enabled routers and gateways. Confirm your specific gateway model supports external antenna integration before ordering; internal antenna models within the Cradlepoint portfolio do not require this accessory. This antenna is suited for installers, IT managers, and security integrators deploying mobile broadband infrastructure in remote sites, branch offices, or locations with intermittent or poor wired connectivity.
Installation Notes
Mount the antenna in an elevated, unobstructed position to maximize cellular reception. Avoid placement near metal structures, dense foliage, or RF-absorbing materials that degrade signal propagation. Standard antenna mounting hardware is typically included with compatible gateways; verify your gateway documentation for connector type and torque specifications. Environmental operation follows the base 170801-000 specification — refer to the gateway datasheet for temperature, humidity, and IP rating limits for the complete assembly.
