About This Device
The R2155 is the non-Wi-Fi member of Cradlepoint's fully ruggedized R2100 Series, built for Ethernet-attached equipment that needs hardened 5G without a local wireless LAN. Its sub-6 GHz 5G modem falls back to 4G LTE automatically, dual SIM slots keep a second carrier ready, and integrated GPS/GNSS supports location-aware deployments. The fanless hardened enclosure is made for cabinets, machinery, and outdoor infrastructure where heat, dust, and vibration are constant - and skipping the radio you do not need trims cost and attack surface.
Because this is a 3-year bundle, hardware and subscription arrive as one SKU: the router plus NetCloud Mobile Essentials, which covers zero-touch deployment, centralized configuration, remote monitoring and alerting, and firmware lifecycle management through NetCloud Manager, with 24x7 enterprise support for the life of the plan. Cradlepoint also warrants the hardware for as long as the subscription stays active, so a longer term extends coverage as well as management. The included Advanced feature tier layers on zone-based firewall policy, intrusion detection and prevention, web content filtering, expanded IPsec VPN capacity, and dynamic routing with BGP and OSPF - the security stack most regulated deployments end up needing anyway.
This TAA-compliant configuration (SKU TAA-MBA3-2155-5GB-GA) is built for harsh fixed sites, machinery, and cabinets where Ethernet-attached equipment needs hardened 5G but local Wi-Fi is unnecessary. This is the global SKU, aimed at deployments outside or spanning beyond North American carriers. In the box you get the R2155-5GB router with the 3-year subscription entitlement registered to your NetCloud account; antennas and power accessories vary by SKU, so check the configuration or ask our team before ordering for a fleet.
