Cradlepoint TAA-BF-MC400-5GB 5G Modem Upgrade
Overview
The TAA-BF-MC400-5GB is a 5G modem upgrade module for Cradlepoint E300 and E3000 branch routers. This unit delivers 5G mobile broadband connectivity for remote site failover, field deployments, and wireless WAN backhaul where TAA compliance is a procurement requirement. It requires a 4FF SIM card and integrates directly into compatible Cradlepoint router platforms via the modem slot. TAA compliance means it meets U.S. federal procurement standards for government agencies and organizations subject to Trade Agreements Act restrictions.
Compatibility
The TAA-BF-MC400-5GB is designed for Cradlepoint E300 and E3000 series branch routers. Installation requires a compatible 4FF SIM card from a carrier supporting 5G networks in your deployment region. Verify carrier 5G coverage and band support for your specific geography before deployment. The modem integrates with Cradlepoint's NetCloud management platform for remote provisioning, failover configuration, and cellular link monitoring.
Installation Notes
This is a hot-swappable modem module — no router reboot required for installation or removal once the device is powered down. Insert the 4FF SIM into the dedicated SIM slot before powering on. Ensure the router firmware is current; consult Cradlepoint documentation for any modem-firmware compatibility requirements. No external tools or torque specs are needed for installation. For field deployments, confirm signal strength and 5G band availability at your site using Cradlepoint's coverage mapping or carrier network tools.
