Cradlepoint TAA-BB05-0950C7A-N0 Managed Branch Router
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-BB05-0950C7A-N0 is a TAA-compliant managed branch router built for enterprise branch office connectivity where you need reliable failover between wired Ethernet and LTE without sacrificing federal procurement eligibility. The unit delivers 940 Mbps passthrough throughput across two Gigabit Ethernet ports (LAN/WAN switchable) and integrates cellular connectivity—CBRS and 4G LTE—to keep branch sites online when primary links fail. Designed for distributed IT infrastructure, the TAA-BB05-0950C7A-N0 fits government agencies, regulated enterprises, and integrators provisioning multi-site networks that must meet supply chain compliance.
Compatibility
The TAA-BB05-0950C7A-N0 integrates with standard enterprise network environments using Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. It is compatible with NetCloud management, allowing centralized provisioning and monitoring across branch locations. The device supports PTCRB (U.S.) and GCF (global) network operator standards, with confirmed certifications from AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, plus FirstNet Trusted (C7A) and T-Mobile Connecting Heroes public safety networks. Its switchable LAN/WAN Ethernet ports accommodate both primary circuit termination and failover configurations typical of SD-WAN and hybrid branch deployments.
Installation Notes
Operating temperature range of 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F) suits standard indoor branch office environments; avoid unheated or outdoor installations. The unit draws power via 802.3af PoE, eliminating the need for dedicated AC power in PoE-capable environments—relevant for cost and cable-run simplification. One USB port and optional USB-to-serial hub support up to 8 serial connections for legacy device integration (alarm systems, building automation). Desktop, wall, and ceiling mounting options are available to match your branch office layout. No dual-modem support; plan failover strategy around the single integrated cellular radio.
