About This Device
The Cradlepoint TAA-BF-MC400-1200M-B upgrades E300 and E3000 enterprise branch routers with Gigabit-Class LTE through the MC400 modular modem system, under a Trade Agreements Act-compliant part number. Rated for LTE Advanced Pro speeds to 1200 Mbps, the module installs in the router's modular bay and immediately gives the site a high-capacity cellular WAN path—without touching the router's existing configuration, licenses, or management.
LTE remains the pragmatic choice for many branch deployments. Coverage is mature and nearly universal, plans are economical, and 1200 Mbps of rated modem capacity comfortably supports failover for point-of-sale, VoIP, and cloud applications at most branches. Agencies and enterprises that are not yet ready for 5G—or whose sites lack strong 5G coverage—use this module to standardize dependable wireless WAN today, with the option to swap the same slot to a 5G MC400 later. That two-step path is the modular system's core value: radios change, routers stay.
The TAA designation makes this SKU the correct choice for federal, state, and municipal purchases, where Trade Agreements Act compliance is required line by line. Typical deployments include failover for government branch offices, primary WAN for temporary facilities, and carrier-diversity designs pairing this LTE module with a wired or 5G path. SIM and data plan are sold separately. Listed shipping weight is one pound; the non-TAA commercial equivalent and the 5G TAA-BF-MC400-5GB share the same installation pattern.
