R1900 Series
Ruggedized 5G, SD-WAN, and security appliance for vehicle deployments
The Ericsson Cradlepoint R1900 Series is a ruggedized 5G mobile router purpose-built for vehicle deployments in public safety, transit, field services, and emergency response fleets. It delivers industry-leading embedded 5G NR (low/mid-band) and Cat 20 LTE connectivity with up to 940 Mbps firewall throughput, dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), 4x GbE Ethernet ports (LAN/WAN switchable), Bluetooth 5.2, discrete active GNSS with dead reckoning for precise AVL integration, and dual-modem support (via RX30-MC accessory) for simultaneous carrier redundancy.
Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Mobile Performance Service with the R1900 Series Router is a ruggedized 5G networking platform, designed to provide persistent connectivity for in-vehicle deployments. Cradlepoint NetCloud provides connectivity, network, security, location, and IoT services to connect everything in the vehicle, while providing access to IT for remote management, troubleshooting, and analytics.
Ideal for High-Performance In-Vehicle Connectivity
For organizations that depend on field forces and mobile networks, the Cradlepoint R1900 Series Router with the NetCloud Mobile Performance Service plan provides a ruggedized GNSS/GPS-enabled in-vehicle network solution. When coupled with the Advanced Mobile Performance Service plan, it provides threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality including location tracking and cellular coverage maps. The R1900 accommodates environmentally harsh environments while delivering enterprise-class standards of reliability, scalability, comprehensive management, and security.
5G Embedded High-Performance Solution
The R1900 mobile router includes an embedded 5G modem that can automatically connect to Cat 20 LTE if the vehicle moves outside of 5G coverage. In addition, the R1900 Series Router is designed to accept the RX30 managed accessories which provide either four additional GbE PoE ports or four additional GbE ports and a second modular modem. It also has the ability to act as a controller for a separate Cradlepoint 5G Wideband Adapter. These two capabilities, along with the continually improved NetCloud platform, ensure the ability for future expansion and the best investment protection available.
