E3000 Series
5G, SD-WAN, and security appliance for hybrid WAN sites
The Ericsson Cradlepoint E3000 Series is a high-performance 5G SD-WAN and security appliance built for medium branch offices, hybrid WAN sites, retail, healthcare, and financial services requiring robust security, analytics, and resilient connectivity. It features embedded 5G NR (NSA/SA) or Cat 20/Cat 18 LTE with dual-modem support for failsafe wireless, dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), 9x GbE + 1x 2.5 GbE + 1x SFP+ Ethernet ports (LAN/WAN switchable), PoE support, and Bluetooth expansion capability.
The Cradlepoint NetCloud for Branch with E3000 Series Enterprise Router is suited for fixed offices, healthcare, financial services and retail locations, ideally when combined with need for security services at scale with performance. The all-in-one form factor includes full-featured routing, security, switching with PoE ports and Wi-Fi, making it easy to connect branches to the Internet and critical applications without the need for extra hardware or complicated configurations. And the embedded LTE or 5G modem means that connectivity is always available from day one without waiting for a wired connection.
Ideal for Wireless WAN
For an all wireless WAN, the E3000 Series Router offers Gigabit LTE or 5G NR1 performance, which can support the throughput and service needs of an enterprise branch office or store with the ability to add a second LTE or 5G connection for increased available bandwidth and reliability. For organizations moving to a Wireless WAN, the E3000 Series Router offers the ability to pair with a wired link and use LTE or 5G as a failover connection or a primary connection.
5G Performance Embedded or Optimized
The E3000 Enterprise Branch Router offers 5G performance in two form factors. As a router with embedded 5G, the platform ships standard with the modem as well as a second slot for dual modem capabilities. As a 5G-optimized LTE router, it has the ability to act as a controller for a Cradlepoint 5G Wideband Adapter so that the modem can be placed for optimal signal coverage. The unique capability of Cradlepoint to operate the adapter in captive mode means that the two separate, Ethernet-connected appliances can be managed as a single entity. The two form factors ensure 5G performance in the manner that best suits the deployment needs.
