Overview

The Cradlepoint TAA-MAA1-1700120B-NA pairs the ruggedized IBR1700 in-vehicle router, with its embedded Cat 18 LTE Advanced Pro modem (1200M-B), with a 1-year Ericsson NetCloud Mobile Essentials + Advanced subscription. It is a TAA-compliant ordering option for U.S. Federal Government buyers. The IBR1700 delivers up to 1.2 Gbps LTE downlink, tri-radio dual-band Wi-Fi, five Gigabit Ethernet ports, and discrete GPS with dead reckoning in an IP64 metal chassis. It ships without an AC power supply or antennas.

  • Embedded Cat 18 LTE Advanced Pro modem (1200M-B): up to 1.2 Gbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink, 4x4 MIMO, dual 2FF SIM slots
  • Tri-radio, dual-band Wi-Fi: two 2x2 802.11n radios and one 4x4 802.11ac Wave 2 radio with WPA3
  • 5 x Gigabit Ethernet (LAN/WAN switchable), USB 2.0, GPIO and RS-232 serial with OBD-II functionality
  • Discrete active GPS with dead reckoning for Automatic Vehicle Location integration
  • MC400 modular modem slot for a second modem; controller for a Cradlepoint 5G adapter
  • IP64, MIL-STD-810G and SAE J1455 rated; 9-36 VDC input with ignition sensing
  • TAA-compliant SKU with 1-year NetCloud Mobile Essentials + Advanced subscription
  • Keeps crews, cameras and onboard systems connected on the move with Gigabit-class LTE and automatic carrier selection across two SIMs

The Cradlepoint IBR1700 is a Gigabit-class LTE networking platform built for persistent connectivity in vehicles. This SKU (TAA-MAA1-1700120B-NA) is the TAA-compliant U.S. Federal Government configuration. It combines the IBR1700 with the embedded 1200M-B modem and a 1-year Ericsson NetCloud Mobile Essentials + Advanced subscription. The hardware is configured without an AC power supply or antennas. The manufacturer lists this product as discontinued.

The 1200M-B modem is Cat 18 LTE Advanced Pro with 4x4 MIMO, up to 5-carrier downlink aggregation, dual 2FF SIM slots with SIM-based auto-carrier selection, and peak rates of 1.2 Gbps down and 150 Mbps up. It supports CBRS Band 48 for private cellular networks and is certified on AT&T and Verizon. Inside the vehicle, three Wi-Fi radios (two 2x2 802.11n and one 4x4 802.11ac Wave 2) serve clients, and five LAN/WAN-switchable Gigabit Ethernet ports connect cameras, laptops and other onboard equipment. An MC400 modular modem slot adds a second modem, and the router can act as a controller for a Cradlepoint 5G adapter.

The design targets fleet use: 9-36 VDC input with ignition sensing, ISO 7637-2 transient protection, IP64 sealing, MIL-STD-810G and SAE J1455 ratings, and an operating range of -30 °C to 70 °C. Discrete active GPS with dead reckoning feeds Automatic Vehicle Location systems. An RS-232 serial port supports OBD-II diagnostics, and a GPIO connector handles vehicle integration.

NetCloud Mobile Essentials provides cloud management through NetCloud Manager, software updates, and 24x7 support for the full term. The router carries a limited lifetime warranty while the subscription is active. The Advanced plan adds threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, location tracking and cellular coverage maps.

Ideal for

  • Police, fire and EMS vehicles that need connectivity on public safety networks
  • Federal agency fleets procuring through TAA-compliant channels
  • Field service and utility trucks running laptops, cameras and telematics from one router
  • Automatic Vehicle Location and fleet tracking using dead-reckoning GPS and OBD-II data
  • Mobile command units that need several Wi-Fi networks and VLAN segmentation
