The Cradlepoint E3000 is Ericsson's enterprise branch router for fixed offices, healthcare, financial services and retail sites that need security services at scale without extra appliances. This SKU, BF01-30005GB-GN, combines the E3000 with the embedded 5GB modem and Wi-Fi with a 1-year NetCloud Enterprise Branch Essentials plan for the US and Canada. The E3000 is sold only as part of a NetCloud Service Branch package.

The 5GB modem supports 5G FR1 in both NSA and SA modes and LTE Advanced Pro Category 20, with dual 2FF SIM slots. Peak downlink is up to 4.14 Gbps and peak uplink up to 660 Mbps, and four external 600 MHz to 6 GHz paddle antennas are included. The modem also supports CBRS Band 48 for private cellular networks. It holds AT&T, EE, T-Mobile and Verizon operator certifications, plus FirstNet Trusted, T-Mobile Connecting Heroes and Verizon Frontline Verified. An MC400 modular modem slot adds a second cellular link, and VRRP pairing lets you mirror two routers for hardware redundancy.

On the LAN side, the E3000 replaces a separate switch, access point and firewall. It has 9 x GbE RJ45, 1 x 2.5GbE RJ45 and 1 x 10GbE SFP+, all LAN/WAN switchable. Four 802.3bt PoE Type 3/4 ports deliver up to 90 W each from a 140 W budget. Dual-band 4x4 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 runs up to 2,400 Mbps on 5 GHz with WPA3. Rated performance is 2 Gbps stateful firewall, 1.5 Gbps IPS and 400 Mbps IPsec VPN, with 20 tunnels and 130,000 TCP sessions for about 100 typical clients.

The Essentials plan covers NetCloud Manager for zero-touch deployment, group policy, analytics and software updates. It also includes 24x7 support and a limited lifetime hardware warranty while the subscription is active. NetCloud Advanced can be added at any time.

Ideal for

  • Primary 5G connectivity for new branch offices before wired circuits are installed
  • Wired broadband with 5G/LTE failover for retail stores and bank branches
  • Clinic and healthcare sites needing firewall, IPS and PoE for cameras and access points
  • Multi-site enterprises standardizing branch networks under NetCloud Manager
  • Private cellular deployments using CBRS Band 48
