About This Device
The Cradlepoint TAA-MB-RX30-POE completes government R1900 vehicle builds that need powered Ethernet. Attached to the R1900 5G ruggedized router, the accessory adds four Gigabit Ethernet ports with 802.3bt PoE under a 60-watt total budget—enough for the IP cameras, license plate readers, Wi-Fi access points, and mobile data terminals that populate modern public-safety and transit vehicles, without the injectors and DC converters that otherwise pile up behind a console.
The accessory mounts to the router in the same ruggedized, vehicle-grade form factor and is administered through the host R1900's NetCloud account: one dashboard shows the router, the switch, and every powered endpoint. That consolidation matters at fleet scale, where each additional device type multiplies configuration, spares, and troubleshooting overhead across hundreds of vehicles.
The TAA part number is what distinguishes this SKU from the commercial MB-RX30-POE. Federal grant programs funding vehicle technology—body cameras, ALPR, mobile broadband—require Trade Agreements Act compliance for each purchased component, and this variant keeps R1900-based builds compliant without changing the hardware's function. For builds that need a second cellular radio rather than powered ports, the companion TAA-MB-RX30-MC provides a modular modem bay with switched Ethernet. Shipping weight is about 3.1 pounds; UPC 840292700192. Confirm your endpoints' combined PoE draw stays inside the 60-watt budget when planning the build.
