Overview

The Cradlepoint E3000 (TAA-BF03-30005GB-GN) is an all-in-one enterprise branch router that combines an embedded 5G modem, 4x4 Wi-Fi 6, a PoE switch and a 10GbE SFP+ port in one metal chassis. This TAA-compliant U.S. Federal Government SKU ships in the 5GB with Wi-Fi configuration and includes a 3-year NetCloud Enterprise Branch Essentials plan. The plan covers cloud management, software updates, 24x7 support and a limited lifetime warranty for the full term.

  • Embedded 5G FR1 NSA/SA modem with LTE Advanced Pro Category 20, dual 2FF SIM slots and 4x4 MIMO
  • Dual-band 4x4 MU-MIMO 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with DFS and WPA3
  • 9 x GbE, 1 x 2.5GbE and 1 x 10GbE SFP+ ports, all LAN/WAN switchable
  • 4 x 802.3bt PoE Type 3/4 ports (up to 90 W per port, 140 W total budget)
  • 2 Gbps stateful firewall, 1.5 Gbps IPS/application-aware services and 20 concurrent VPN tunnels
  • MC400 modular modem slot for optional dual-modem cellular connectivity
  • TAA-compliant SKU with a 3-year NetCloud Enterprise Branch Essentials plan
  • Bring a branch online on 5G from day one, without waiting for a wired circuit

The Cradlepoint E3000 is built for medium branch locations that need routing, security, switching and wireless in one device. Typical sites include fixed offices, healthcare, financial services and retail. This part number, TAA-BF03-30005GB-GN, is the TAA-compliant ordering option for U.S. Federal Government buyers. It pairs the E3000 in its 5GB with Wi-Fi hardware configuration with a 3-year NetCloud Enterprise Branch Essentials plan.

The embedded 5G modem supports 5G FR1 NSA and SA plus Cat 20 LTE Advanced Pro. It has dual 2FF SIM slots, 4x4 MIMO and peak downlink of up to 4.14 Gbps. Four 600 MHz to 6 GHz paddle antennas are included. A site can go live on cellular from day one, or use 5G as failover behind a wired broadband link. An MC400 modular modem slot adds a second cellular modem for dual-carrier resilience. VRRP pairing with a mirrored router adds hardware redundancy.

On the LAN side, the E3000 offers nine GbE ports, one 2.5GbE port and one 10GbE SFP+ port, all LAN/WAN switchable. Four 802.3bt PoE ports share a 140 W budget. Dual-band 4x4 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 radios support WPA3. Rated performance reaches 2 Gbps stateful firewall, 1.5 Gbps IPS and application-aware services, and 400 Mbps IPsec VPN. The router supports 20 concurrent tunnels and up to 64 VLANs.

The Essentials plan includes NetCloud Manager for zero-touch deployment, group policy, reporting and troubleshooting. It also covers all software and firmware updates and 24x7 support: phone support 24 hours on weekdays with emergency response on weekends, web 24x7 and chat 24x5. The hardware carries a limited lifetime warranty while the subscription is active. NetCloud Advanced can be added to the plan at any time.

Ideal for

  • Primary 5G connectivity for new federal offices before wired circuits are installed
  • Hybrid WAN with 5G failover for healthcare, financial services and retail branches
  • Consolidated branch edge that replaces a separate firewall, PoE switch and Wi-Fi access point
  • Dual-modem, dual-carrier cellular WAN for sites where uptime is critical
  • Private cellular (CBRS Band 48) and FirstNet-ready public-safety deployments
