The Cradlepoint E300 is Ericsson's all-in-one enterprise branch router. It provides routing, security and Wi-Fi in a single compact unit, so an office, store, clinic or temporary site can connect to the internet and critical applications without extra hardware. This SKU is the 5G with Wi-Fi configuration. It uses an embedded 5G low/mid-band modem (5G FR1 NSA/SA, LTE Advanced Pro Category 20) with dual 2FF SIM slots, 4x4 MIMO and peak rates of up to 4.14 Gbps downlink and 660 Mbps uplink. Four external 600 MHz to 6 GHz paddle antennas are included.

On the wired side, the E300 has five Gigabit RJ45 ports and one 10 GbE SFP+ port, all LAN/WAN switchable. You can run the site on all-wireless 5G, or terminate a wired broadband link with cellular failover for hybrid connectivity. An MC400 modular modem slot adds a second cellular modem for dual connectivity. The router can also act as the controller for Cradlepoint 5G Wideband Adapters. The 2x2 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 radio runs 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz concurrently and supports WPA3.

Rated performance is 940 Mbps for the stateful firewall and for IPS and application-aware services. Point-to-point IPsec VPN is rated at 400 Mbps, with up to 20 concurrent VPN tunnels and up to 64 VLANs. The modem supports private cellular, including CBRS Band 48 under FCC Part 96. It carries AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon network certifications, plus FirstNet Trusted, T-Mobile Connecting Heroes and Verizon Frontline public-safety certifications.

This part number is TAA-compliant and ordered for the United States federal government market. It bundles 3-year NetCloud Enterprise Branch Essentials and Advanced plans. The Essentials package includes: - NetCloud Manager cloud management and software updates for the full term - 24x7 support - A limited lifetime hardware warranty that applies while the NetCloud subscription is active
