About This Device
The W1855 is built to live outdoors on a mast, and the 170886-000 supplies the hardware that puts it there: a set of two pole mounting clamps engineered for the adapter's mounting system. Purpose-made clamps matter more than they look like they should - improvised band clamps loosen through thermal cycles, slip in wind load, and chew through coatings, while the factory set seats the W1855's bracket geometry exactly and holds torque season after season. For rooftop masts, light poles, and tower legs, this is the two-piece kit that turns a good signal survey into a permanent install.
Every antenna-height install is a fall-protection event - hardware that goes up once and holds is a safety line item, not a convenience.
Position the W1855 bracket at the surveyed height, band both clamps around the pole, and torque evenly per the installation guide. Check torque at the first seasonal service visit, then trust it.
Cloud Care Networks stocks the Cradlepoint 170886-000 alongside the gateways and routers it supports, so IT and field-service teams can consolidate antennas, spares, and replacement hardware on a single order.
