Cradlepoint TAA-BLA3-E400-5GE-AM-N 5G Modem 3-Year TAA
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-BLA3-E400-5GE-AM-N is a TAA-compliant 5G modem built for enterprise branch and government networks where procurement compliance is non-negotiable. This unit combines 5G and 4G cellular connectivity with Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) to deliver hybrid failover capability in a single form factor — solving the problem of resilient WAN connectivity for mission-critical locations that must meet federal acquisition rules. The 2.5G throughput handles simultaneous voice, video, and data without choking on failover traffic. Three-year TAA certification covers the entire lifecycle, eliminating compliance re-qualification at renewal.
Compatibility
Designed for enterprise network architectures requiring multi-mode cellular and wireless integration. Supports IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) and IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) standards for seamless integration into existing corporate wireless infrastructure. Desktop deployment configuration suitable for branch office, remote site, and edge location installations. Compatible with enterprise SD-WAN and MPLS environments where cellular redundancy augments primary circuits. Works in environments requiring NDAA compliance and TAA-certified procurement workflows — standard for government agencies and defense contractors.
Installation Notes
Desktop form factor requires standard AC power and network port connections to existing switch or router infrastructure. Dual cellular and Wi-Fi interfaces enable simultaneous connectivity or manual/automatic failover logic depending on management configuration. No rack mounting required — place in protected cabinet or network closet near power and antenna feeds. Antenna connectors use standard connectors; external antenna placement critical for 5G/4G signal strength in building interiors.
