About This Device
This is the European counterpart to Cradlepoint's indoor captive 5G accessory: the W1850-5GC radio modem configured for EU and UK deployments. The hardware brings two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports - enough to carry the modem's full 5G throughput to the controlling router - plus a USB 2.0 Type A host interface, nano SIM support, MIMO antenna technology, integrated GNSS, and LTE-Advanced Pro with HSPA+/WCDMA fallback for coverage edges. At roughly 6.5 in deep and 1.5 in tall it shelves or wall-mounts in any IT room, powering from AC. For multinational estates it completes the picture: one architecture, regional SKUs, identical operations.
The 2.5GbE detail matters more than it looks: gigabit-only backhaul quietly caps a 3.4 Gbps-class modem at a third of its capability.
Place the W1850 at the best indoor signal point, insert the nano SIM, connect a 2.5GbE run to the controlling router, and power from AC. Enable the captive/adapter mode your architecture uses and verify band registration on the European carrier.
Cloud Care Networks stocks the Cradlepoint 170900-020 alongside the gateways and routers it supports, so IT and field-service teams can consolidate antennas, spares, and replacement hardware on a single order.
