Cradlepoint TCA5-0920-C7B-GM R920 Wireless Router
Overview
The Cradlepoint TCA5-0920-C7B-GM is a ruggedized 4G/LTE mobile router built for remote site connectivity, distributed IoT deployments, and mission-critical mobile workforce scenarios where wired infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable. It pairs Gigabit Ethernet backhaul with dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and embedded Bluetooth, delivering 940 Mbps firewall throughput. Dual-modem support (with RX20 adapter) and 20 VPN tunnel capacity handle failover and multi-carrier redundancy in field operations.
Compatibility
The TCA5-0920-C7B-GM integrates into Cradlepoint NetCloud management platforms (cloud-based device lifecycle and policy control). It is certified for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon networks across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific regions. FirstNet Trusted and T-Mobile Connecting Heroes certifications enable deployment on public safety and emergency response networks. Private cellular integration supports CBRS and 4G LTE for isolated or spectrum-controlled environments. The two Gigabit Ethernet ports (LAN/WAN switchable) connect standard IT infrastructure; USB port supports modular 5G adapters and external storage for edge analytics.
Installation Notes
Operating temperature range of -30°C to 75°C (-22°F to 167°F) suits outdoor cabinets, vehicle mounts, and harsh field sites without active cooling. Metal ruggedized form factor and embedded antennas reduce deployment footprint. PoE is not supported—external 12V DC power (included in IoT package) or mains adapter required. Serial ports are absent; all configuration and monitoring routes through Ethernet or cloud management dashboard. Dual-concurrent Wi-Fi operation allows simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSIDs for client device separation and band steering.
