Cradlepoint BF-MC400-5GB 5G Modem Upgrade for E300 and E3000 Branch Routers

The Cradlepoint BF-MC400-5GB brings 5G wireless WAN to the E300 and E3000 enterprise branch routers through the MC400 modular modem system. Instead of forklifting a working router out of the rack, you slide the modem into the expansion bay, attach the included doors and antennas, insert a 4FF SIM from your carrier, and manage the new cellular WAN link through NetCloud alongside your existing connections. For branch offices, retail locations, and clinics, the upgrade delivers two common outcomes. First, it creates a wireless failover path that keeps point-of-sale, VoIP, and cloud applications running when wired broadband fails. Second, in locations where fiber is slow to arrive or expensive to trench, 5G through this modem can serve as the primary WAN on day one, then shift to backup duty later without any hardware change. Because the MC400 is modular, the same E300 or E3000 chassis can also run dual-modem configurations for carrier diversity, pairing this 5G module with the router's other WAN sources. The kit approach protects your original investment: the router, its licenses, and its configuration stay in place while the radio layer advances to current cellular technology. SIM and data plan are sold separately, and Cloud Care Networks can help you match the module to the right carrier plan for your sites.
