Cradlepoint TAA-MB-MC400-5GB 5G Modem for R1900 and IBR1700, TAA Variant

The Cradlepoint TAA-MB-MC400-5GB carries 5G into government vehicle fleets under a Trade Agreements Act-compliant part number. Built on the MC400 modular modem platform, it installs in an R1900 equipped with the RX30-MC managed accessory or directly in an IBR1700, operating as an additional cellular radio managed by the host router in NetCloud. Agency fleets deploy the module for the same two reasons as commercial operators, with compliance as the deciding constraint. As an upgrade, it moves LTE-era vehicle installations to 5G, accelerating body-camera offload, live video, and depot file sync without touching routers, antennas, or wiring. As a second radio, it enables the dual-carrier architecture public-safety communications standards increasingly expect: SIMs from two networks active simultaneously, with automatic failover the moment either carrier drops. Federal grant programs funding these upgrades require TAA compliance per line item—this SKU satisfies that while remaining functionally identical to the commercial MB-MC400-5GB. The modular approach also sets up the next transition: when cellular technology advances, the module swaps while the vehicle installation stays intact, protecting upfit labor that often exceeds the hardware cost. Activation requires a 4FF (nano) SIM and carrier service, sold separately. Listed shipping weight is one pound; UPC 810007806792. For branch routers, the corresponding TAA kits are TAA-BF-MC400-5GB (E300/E3000) and TAA-BA-MC400-5GB (AER2200).
