Cradlepoint TAA-BEA3-1855-5GC-GN 5G Wideband Adapter
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-BEA3-1855-5GC-GN is a TAA-compliant 5G wideband adapter purpose-built for government and regulated enterprise branch sites requiring NDAA-eligible cellular backhaul. It pairs 5G and 4G cellular access with 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity—meaning you get multi-gigabit throughput over cellular without saturation bottlenecks that cripple standard gigabit adapters. The pole-mountable form factor fits outdoor remote installations, consolidation points, and hybrid wired-cellular failover architectures where you need cellular as a primary or secondary link without racking infrastructure.
Compatibility
The TAA-BEA3-1855-5GC-GN integrates with the Cradlepoint W1855-5GC 5G wideband adapter hardware and operates under NetCloud Branch management, enabling cloud-based SD-WAN, zero-touch provisioning, security policy enforcement, and centralized analytics across distributed sites. The bundled Essentials + Advanced plan tier unlocks advanced NetCloud features—cloud management, SD-WAN orchestration, and edge security—for 3 years. Compatible with managed Cradlepoint router platforms and enterprise edge deployments requiring compliance-grade governance and remote monitoring.
Installation Notes
Outdoor pole-mount design requires standard hardware and weatherproof cabling practices. TAA compliance verifies domestic supply-chain eligibility for federal procurement and restricted-geography deployments. The 3-year service term covers NetCloud management access, software updates, and support throughout the deployment lifecycle.
