Cradlepoint TAA-MA3-1700120B-NNA 4-Port Managed Switch
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-MA3-1700120B-NNA is a ruggedized 4-port gigabit managed switch built for mobile and distributed edge deployments where space, power efficiency, and government compliance are constraints. Deploy this in vehicle installations, temporary command posts, compact branch enclosures, or remote site configurations where a standard rackmount switch won't fit. The TAA-MA3-1700120B-NNA delivers 940 Mbps firewall throughput and managed switching with VLAN segmentation and QoS control—critical when consolidating IP cameras, access control panels, and data backhaul over a single uplink. TAA compliance qualifies this for federal and state procurement that excludes commercial-grade gear.
Compatibility
Integrates into Cradlepoint router and gateway ecosystems, including mobile cloud-managed platforms. The device supports dual-modem configurations and 5G readiness via Cradlepoint 5G Adapter. Compatible with edge security deployments involving IP surveillance systems, access control infrastructure, and telecom installations in field and branch locations. Verify firmware version compatibility with your existing Cradlepoint gateway—some configurations require specific versions for full management integration. The 5 GbE ports (LAN/WAN switchable) and 1 USB port accommodate standard network cabling and serial console access. No native PoE output—plan for external injectors or dedicated PoE supplies if provisioning downstream cameras or wireless access points.
Installation Notes
Operating temperature range of -30°C to 70°C (-22°F to 158°F) supports outdoor mobile enclosures and harsh field environments. Rack-mountable form factor fits standard 19-inch installations. Dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac Wave 2), active GNSS, and private cellular network support (CBRS, 4G LTE) enable flexible connectivity options. No PoE native output limits immediate camera powering—budget separate injector hardware if your deployment requires PoE devices. Confirm power supply capacity and uplink bandwidth planning when aggregating multiple camera streams and access control traffic across the 940 Mbps firewall limit.
