About This Device

This Cradlepoint package (SKU 6859E, AT&T Bluesky program) combines the R980 5G mobile router (MB03-R980-5GD-A) with a NetCloud Mobile Essentials plan, provisioned for AT&T wireless - a complete kit for putting managed 5G connectivity into vehicles and mobile deployments. The R980 is a ruggedized mobile router from Cradlepoint's R-Series, engineered for the environments where mobile connectivity actually lives: vehicles, carts, portable kits, and field equipment subject to vibration, temperature swings, and rough handling. Its 5G modem with LTE fallback delivers the bandwidth modern mobile workloads demand - live video, large file sync, telemetry, and multiple onboard systems at once - while staying connected as vehicles move between 5G and LTE coverage areas. NetCloud Mobile Essentials supplies the operational layer that separates a managed fleet from a pile of routers. Every unit reports into the NetCloud console for zero-touch provisioning, remote configuration and firmware updates, connection health monitoring, and alerting. When a vehicle drops offline, your team sees whether it is signal, power, or SIM before anyone chases the vehicle down. Cradlepoint support and warranty coverage apply for the subscription term. Typical deployments include public safety and government fleets on AT&T networks, utility and field service vehicles, transit and logistics operations, and portable connectivity kits for events and incident response. AT&T wireless service and SIM activation are arranged separately through your AT&T agreement; this package covers the R980 hardware and the NetCloud Mobile Essentials platform, support, and warranty.
