The Cradlepoint E300 is an all-in-one branch router for pop-up and temporary locations, branches, stores and clinics. It delivers 4G and 5G connectivity, VPN security and cellular-optimized SD-WAN without extra hardware. TAA-BFA5-03005GB-GN is the TAA-compliant option for U.S. federal government procurement. It bundles the E300 with the embedded 5GB modem, Wi-Fi, and five years of NetCloud Enterprise Branch Essentials + Advanced.

The 5GB modem supports 5G FR1 in NSA and SA modes with LTE Advanced Pro Category 20, dual 2FF SIM slots and peak rates up to 4.14 Gbps down and 660 Mbps up. Bands include n71, n41, n77, n78 and n79, plus CBRS Band 48 for private cellular. For wired links, the E300 has five GbE ports and one 10GbE SFP+ port, all LAN/WAN switchable. Dual-band 2x2 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 reaches 1,200 Mbps on 5 GHz with WPA3. An MC400 modular modem slot adds a second cellular connection. The E300 can also act as the controller for Cradlepoint 5G Wideband Adapters.

Rated performance is 940 Mbps for both stateful firewall and IPS/application-aware services, with 400 Mbps IPsec VPN. It supports 20 VPN tunnels, 130,000 concurrent TCP sessions, up to 64 VLANs and around 50 typical clients. The chassis measures 135 x 270 x 44 mm and weighs 0.86 kg.

The Essentials + Advanced plan covers routing, VPN, SD-WAN, security, Connection Manager and zero-touch deployment through NetCloud Manager. Support and software updates are included for the full five years. A limited lifetime hardware warranty applies while the NetCloud subscription remains active.

Ideal for

  • Federal government sites that require TAA-compliant cellular routers
  • Pop-up and temporary locations that need secure connectivity on day one
  • Small branches, stores and clinics running 5G primary or wired-plus-5G failover
  • Sites pairing the E300 with Cradlepoint 5G Wideband Adapters
  • Long-term deployments that want five years of management and support in one purchase
