Cradlepoint W1850 5G Adapter with 4-Year NetCloud Essentials and Advanced Plans

This Cradlepoint package (BEA4-1850-5GC-GN, Americas) combines the W1850 Series 5G Wideband Adapter with a 4-year subscription covering both the NetCloud Branch 5G Adapter Essentials plan and the Advanced plan. The 4-year term solves a procurement mismatch. Many organizations run four-year horizons - retail leases, franchise agreements, managed-service contracts, equipment refresh programs - and a three-year subscription leaves a renewal dangling in the deployment's final year, while five years overshoots. Matching the term to the actual lifecycle keeps NetCloud management, Cradlepoint support, and warranty continuous from installation to refresh: one purchase order, no lapse risk, no re-procurement overhead in year three. The hardware is the proven dual-SIM W1850. It attaches over Ethernet to the firewall, router, or SD-WAN appliance each branch already runs and presents a managed 5G WAN path from its 5GC modem with automatic LTE fallback. Two 4FF SIM slots let fleets hold a second carrier everywhere and switch remotely for coverage, cost, or contract reasons. Deployed as failover, the 5G link carries the entire branch through wired outages; on strong mid-band coverage it serves as primary WAN. The two-tier subscription carries the full operational stack throughout: Essentials for zero-touch provisioning, centralized configuration and firmware, monitoring, and alerting; Advanced for deeper cellular analytics, extended WAN visibility, and enhanced remote troubleshooting that keeps remote sites diagnosable from the console. For other lifecycles, the same configuration ships in 1-year (BEA1), 3-year (BEA3), and 5-year (BEA5) terms.
