The Cradlepoint E300 (part number TAA-BFA1-03005GB-GN) is an enterprise branch router with an embedded 5G modem. It comes bundled with a 1-year Ericsson NetCloud Service Enterprise Branch Essentials + Advanced plan. This is the TAA-compliant SKU for U.S. Federal Government ordering. It suits pop-up temporary locations, branches, stores and clinics that need routing, security and Wi-Fi in one compact unit, with no extra hardware.

The embedded 5G modem supports 5G FR1 in NSA and SA modes and LTE Advanced Pro Category 20. Peak rates reach up to 4.14 Gbps downlink and 660 Mbps uplink. It has 4x4 MIMO, dual 2FF SIM slots and four included 600 MHz to 6 GHz paddle antennas. It also supports CBRS Band 48 for private cellular networks. For extra resilience, you can add an MC400 modular modem for dual-cellular operation. The E300 can also act as the controller for Cradlepoint 5G Wideband Adapters.

On the wired side, the E300 has five Gigabit RJ45 ports and one 10 GbE SFP+ port, all LAN/WAN switchable. That lets you run a wired broadband link as the primary connection and keep cellular as failover. Dual-band 2x2 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 delivers up to 1,200 Mbps on 5 GHz and supports WPA3. Rated performance includes 940 Mbps stateful firewall throughput, 400 Mbps IPsec VPN, 20 concurrent VPN tunnels and up to 64 VLANs.

The NetCloud plan provides NetCloud Manager for cloud-based device management and software updates for the full term. It also includes support for the full term: phone support 24 hours on weekdays with emergency response on weekends, 24x7 web support and 24x5 chat. The hardware carries a limited lifetime warranty while an active NetCloud subscription is maintained. The Cradlepoint E300 datasheet is available as a reference document.
