4G LTE fallback

TAA-compliant SKU for US government procurement
FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic configuration

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 5-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-MBA5-2155-5GB-FA) is built for harsh fixed sites, machinery, and cabinets where Ethernet-attached equipment needs hardened 5G but local Wi-Fi is unnecessary. The FIPS configuration runs validated cryptographic modules, satisfying agencies and contractors that must encrypt traffic with FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms. This SKU is aimed at North American deployments; insert an activated SIM from your carrier and the router can be online in minutes. In the box you get the R2155-5GB router with the 5-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.

Ideal for

SCADA, PLC, and industrial controllers that connect over Ethernet only
Roadside and traffic infrastructure cabinets requiring hardened 5G backhaul
ATMs, kiosks, and digital signage where local Wi-Fi is a security liability
Heavy machinery and remote monitoring sites exposed to heat, dust, and vibration

Questions buyers ask

Which carriers does this R2155 work with?

The North American modem variant is certified for major US carriers including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Insert an activated SIM (or two - dual SIM slots support automatic carrier failover) and manage APN settings from NetCloud.

What exactly is included in this bundle?

One Cradlepoint R2155-5GB router and a 5-year NetCloud Mobile Performance Essentials + Advanced subscription in FIPS configuration, which covers NetCloud Manager cloud management, firmware updates, and 24x7 enterprise support. Antenna and power accessories vary by SKU - contact us to confirm for your deployment.

How is the router managed after deployment?

Through NetCloud Manager, Cradlepoint's cloud console. You can zero-touch provision units before they ship to sites, push configuration and firmware to the whole fleet, and monitor signal, data usage, and uptime remotely - no truck rolls for routine changes.

What does the warranty cover and for how long?

Cradlepoint warrants the hardware for as long as the NetCloud subscription remains active, so this 5-year bundle carries 5 full years of warranty plus 24x7 support. Renewing the subscription at term-end extends both.

Do I need the FIPS version?

Choose FIPS if your agency or contract requires FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography (common in federal, defense, and some state and healthcare environments). If not, the standard variant offers the same hardware and management at a lower price.
