Is Cradlepoint NDAA Section 889 compliant?

Yes. Cradlepoint is headquartered in Boise, Idaho with TAA-compliant manufacturing, and all Cradlepoint routers are fully NDAA Section 889 compliant. Cradlepoint is approved for U.S. federal procurement, state and local public safety (FirstNet), DoD installations, and critical infrastructure buyers. Select models also carry FIPS 140-2 certification for federal cybersecurity requirements.

What's FirstNet and which Cradlepoint routers support it?

FirstNet is the U.S. public-safety dedicated LTE network on Band 14 with priority and preemption for first responders. Cradlepoint routers certified for FirstNet — including IBR1700, IBR900, R1900, and select CR-series — include Band 14 support, priority/preemption, and FirstNet SIM authentication. FirstNet certification is a procurement requirement for police, fire, and EMS in-vehicle deployments in most U.S. jurisdictions.

What is NetCloud Manager and do I need it?

NetCloud Manager is Cradlepoint's cloud-based management console — included with every Cradlepoint router purchase and required for firmware updates, configuration management, and SD-WAN/ZTNA features. Essentials subscription is included for 1 year at purchase; Advanced and Premium subscriptions unlock SD-WAN, ZTNA, and advanced analytics. For fleet deployments above 10 routers, NetCloud Manager is essential for operational efficiency.

Does Cradlepoint support CBRS private cellular networks?

Yes. Most current Cradlepoint 5G and LTE-Advanced routers support CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) in the 3.5 GHz band — enabling private cellular networks for enterprises, hospitals, manufacturing, ports, and stadiums. CBRS requires Priority Access License (PAL) or General Authorized Access (GAA) spectrum allocation, which our engineers can help plan and deploy.

What's the difference between IBR, R, E, and W series?

IBR-series are ruggedized in-vehicle routers with GPS and vehicle I/O for fleet and emergency response. R-series (R1900, R2100, R4250) are commercial branch routers for retail, healthcare, and office deployments. E-series (E100, E300) are enterprise edge with integrated SD-WAN and ZTNA for large deployments. W-series (W1850, W2000, W4005) are outdoor-rated IoT gateways for kiosks, pop-ups, and industrial telemetry.

Can I use Cradlepoint with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and FirstNet SIMs?

Yes, most Cradlepoint routers are multi-carrier certified — meaning a single router can accept SIMs from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, FirstNet, Rogers (Canada), or other carriers without hardware variants. Dual-SIM and quad-SIM models enable automatic failover between carriers for 99.999% uptime in critical deployments.

About Cradlepoint

Cradlepoint, headquartered in Boise, Idaho and acquired by Ericsson in 2020, is the U.S. leader in cellular-first enterprise networking. The product portfolio spans every wireless WAN deployment scenario: in-vehicle routers (IBR series) for fleet, emergency response, and transit, branch routers (CR and R series) for retail, healthcare, and remote office connectivity, enterprise edge (E series) for large deployments requiring SD-WAN and zero-trust networking, and outdoor IoT gateways (W series) for kiosks, pop-up sites, and industrial remote telemetry.

The unifying platform is NetCloud Manager — Cradlepoint's cloud-based management console that handles configuration templates, SD-WAN routing policy, zero-trust network access (ZTNA), remote monitoring, firmware orchestration, and real-time troubleshooting across entire router fleets. NetCloud subscriptions are tiered (Essentials, Advanced, Premium, Premium Plus) with features unlocked progressively — advanced subscriptions include Ericsson SASE, SD-WAN controller, and zero-trust remote access.

Cradlepoint is FirstNet-certified for U.S. public-safety Band 14 deployments, CBRS PAL/GAA capable across most models, and carrier-approved across Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, FirstNet, Rogers, Telus, and international MNO networks. Federal and critical infrastructure buyers specify Cradlepoint for NDAA compliance, FIPS 140-2 firmware on select models, and the TAA-compliant supply chain required for government procurement.

Where Cradlepoint Fits

Cradlepoint fits every deployment where wireless WAN is the primary or failover connectivity method — retail chains requiring PCI-compliant cellular failover at every store, healthcare organizations connecting mobile clinics and ambulances, municipal and state public-safety agencies deploying FirstNet-certified in-vehicle routers, utilities and critical infrastructure requiring cellular + fiber dual-WAN, field service fleets needing real-time telematics and driver connectivity, and enterprise branch deployments where fiber is unavailable or too slow to provision. The E-series + NetCloud Manager combination also fits large retail and healthcare chains centralizing SD-WAN, ZTNA, and SASE policy across hundreds or thousands of sites.

Why Choose Cradlepoint

Market-Leading 5G Ecosystem

Cradlepoint ships more enterprise 5G routers than any competing vendor — carrier-aggregated modems, CBRS support, FirstNet Band 14 certification, and multi-SIM failover.

NetCloud Manager Cloud Platform

Centralized management for hundreds-to-thousands of distributed routers — SD-WAN policy, ZTNA, firmware orchestration, and real-time site telemetry from a single console.

Ericsson Parent — Long-Term Investment

Owned by Ericsson since 2020, Cradlepoint has expanded 5G SA R&D, SASE integration, and private cellular (CBRS) capabilities far beyond independent-vendor roadmaps.

Public-Safety Grade Hardware

FirstNet-certified in-vehicle and branch routers, FIPS 140-2 firmware on select models, NDAA compliance — the default wireless WAN choice for state and local public safety.
