R920 Series
Ruggedized LTE and security appliance for vehicle and IoT deployments
The Ericsson Cradlepoint R920 Series is a ruggedized LTE router designed for vehicle and IoT deployments, offering agile, reliable connectivity and standardization for mass transit, public safety, field services, and remote assets. It features embedded Cat 7 LTE for fast uploads (suitable for video/data), optional dual-modem support (via RX20 for multi-link redundancy), 5G readiness through modular modems/adapters, embedded Bluetooth, active GNSS, and Wi-Fi 6 (dual-band concurrent 802.11ax) for high-performance local networking.
The Ericsson Cradlepoint R920 ruggedized router is a uniquely agile cellular networking solution that meets organizations’ needs for flexible connectivity and product standardization for vehicles and IoT. The R920 is a ruggedized LTE networking platform available with either Mobile or Ruggedized IoT Ericsson NetCloud Service plans, providing features optimized for the needs of the differing deployments.
High-Performance Vehicle Connectivity
The Ericsson Cradlepoint R920 router with the Ericsson NetCloud Mobile Service plan provides a ruggedized GNSS/GPS-enabled in-vehicle network solution. Combined with the Ericsson Cradlepoint RX20 managed accessory, the R920 can be field upgraded to include a second LTE or 5G modem. When coupled with the Advanced Mobile Service plan, it provides threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality such as location tracking and cellular coverage maps. The R920 also supports NetCloud Exchange services, which provide Zero Trust Network Access and cellular-optimized SD-WAN.
Ruggedized IoT Solution
When combined with the Ericsson NetCloud Ruggedized IoT Service plan, the R920 provides a versatile, ruggedized 4G LTE router solution for connecting and protecting IoT devices at scale. It can be deployed in a wide range of environmentally harsh IoT use cases such as kiosks, building automation, oil and gas, utility, and smart city infrastructure deployments. The ruggedized design and the CBRS band support make it ideal for private networks. In addition, the solution is highly extensible with APIs, SDKs, and integrations into IoT platforms, and the generous memory supports onboard edge containers. The R920 also supports NetCloud Exchange services, which provide Zero Trust Network Access and cellular-optimized SD-WAN.
