Cradlepoint TAA-BA-MC400-5GB 5G Modem Upgrade for AER2200 Branch Routers

The Cradlepoint TAA-BA-MC400-5GB extends the service life of AER2200 branch routers by adding 5G through the MC400 modular modem system, in a Trade Agreements Act-compliant part number suited to federal, state, and municipal procurement. The AER2200 remains a capable branch platform; what ages fastest in any cellular router is the radio. This kit refreshes exactly that layer: the modem slides into the router's modular bay, the included doors and antennas complete the physical installation, and a 4FF SIM from your carrier activates service.

For branch deployments, the upgraded router gains a modern 5G WAN path usable three ways: as primary connectivity where wireline is unavailable or slow to install, as automatic failover protecting point-of-sale and cloud applications, or as one half of a dual-modem carrier-diversity design. Configuration and monitoring remain in NetCloud, unchanged, so the upgrade does not disturb established operations workflows.

The TAA designation is the differentiator of this specific SKU. Government-funded purchases routinely require Trade Agreements Act compliance for every line item, and a non-compliant modem module can stall an otherwise approved order. With this part number, agencies upgrade AER2200 fleets to 5G while keeping procurement clean. SIM and data plan are sold separately; for E300/E3000 routers the TAA-BF-MC400-5GB is the corresponding kit, and non-TAA variants exist for commercial buyers. Listed shipping weight is one pound.
