Overview

The Cradlepoint R2105 combines an embedded 5G NR and Cat 20 LTE modem, four internal cellular antennas and a Wi-Fi 6 router in one IP67, IK09 exterior-mount enclosure for vehicle roofs and IoT cabinets. This SKU (Cradlepoint MB05-2105-5GB-GA, Getac 590GBL001121) bundles the hardware with a 5-year NetCloud Mobile Performance Essentials plan covering cloud management, software updates, 24x7 support and a limited lifetime warranty for the term. SIM and AC power supply are not included.

  • Embedded 5G NR FR1 (NSA/SA) and LTE Advanced Pro Cat 20 modem with 4x4 MIMO, dual 4FF SIM slots and 4 internal cellular antennas
  • Dual-band, concurrent 2x2 MU-MIMO 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with DFS and one 2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN port
  • IP67, IK09, MIL-STD-810G shock/vibration, E-Mark and SAE J1455 Category 2 exterior-mount enclosure
  • Powered by 9–36 VDC with ignition sensing or by 802.3at PoE
  • 900 Mbps stateful firewall, 300 Mbps IPsec VPN, 10 concurrent VPN tunnels
  • Passive GNSS and Docker container support on a quad-core ARMv8 CPU
  • 5-year NetCloud Mobile Performance Essentials plan with 24x7 support and limited lifetime warranty during the term
  • Simplify vehicle installs: modem, antennas and router live in one roof-mounted unit with no coax runs

The Ericsson Cradlepoint R2105 is the Wi-Fi 6 model of the R2100 5G ruggedized router, built for mass transit, public safety and other vehicle and IoT deployments. It mounts on the outside of a vehicle or IoT cabinet enclosure and integrates the modem, antennas and router in a single aerodynamic, ruggedized casing, so there are no coax cable runs to plan. Power comes from a 9–36 VDC input with ignition sensing or from 802.3at PoE, and a single 2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN port connects it to the vehicle network.

The embedded 5G FR1 NSA/SA and LTE Advanced Pro Category 20 modem uses 4x4 MIMO and dual 4FF SIM slots, with peak rates up to 4.14 Gbps downlink and 660 Mbps uplink. It carries AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon network operator certifications, FirstNet Trusted, T-Mobile Connecting Heroes and Verizon Frontline Verified public safety certifications, and supports private cellular networks including CBRS Band 48. Dual-band, concurrent 2x2 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 serves around 100 typical clients, and passive GNSS feeds Automatic Vehicle Location systems.

The R2105 can run as a self-contained router or as a captive 5G modem for a supported Cradlepoint controlling router, managed in NetCloud Manager as a single entity without a separate licence. Performance reaches 900 Mbps stateful firewall, 650 Mbps with IPS and application-aware services, and 300 Mbps IPsec VPN across up to 10 tunnels. A quad-core ARMv8 CPU hosts Docker containerized applications at the edge.

The enclosure is rated IP67 and IK09, tested to MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration, salt-mist corrosion resistant, and certified for vehicles under E-Mark and SAE J1455 Category 2. The 5-year Essentials plan includes NetCloud Manager device management and software updates, 24x7 support, Enterprise Wireless University access, and a limited lifetime warranty while the subscription is active. NetCloud Advanced can be added at any time.

Ideal for

  • Roof-mounted 5G connectivity for police, fire and EMS vehicles on FirstNet and other public safety networks
  • Passenger Wi-Fi and operational data for buses and mass transit fleets
  • Adding 5G as a captive modem to an existing Cradlepoint in-vehicle router
  • Ruggedized connectivity for outdoor IoT cabinets and enclosures
  • Fleet location tracking and AVL integration using built-in GNSS
