The Ericsson Cradlepoint S400 is a compact, semi-ruggedized router and secure appliance for IoT endpoints such as kiosks, digital signage, light industrial equipment and portable assets. Part number TAA-TBT5-0400-C6-NA-N is the TAA-compliant North America package, offered for U.S. Federal Government ordering. It bundles the router with a 5-year NetCloud IoT Essentials Plan, an AC power supply and antennas. The five-year term suits long-lived deployments that should not need a subscription renewal mid-lifecycle.

An embedded Cat 6 LTE modem (3GPP Rel. 11) with 2x2 MIMO and downlink carrier aggregation delivers peak rates of 300 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up. Two 4FF SIM slots provide SIM-based auto-carrier selection. The North America modem covers LTE bands B2, B4, B5, B7, B12, B13, B14, B25, B26, B29, B30, B66 and B71, plus TDD B41 and B48. B48 support includes FCC Part 96 CBRS for private LTE. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon are listed as network operator certifications. Local connectivity includes one Gigabit Ethernet port (LAN/WAN selectable) and 1x1 802.11ac Wi-Fi 5 running on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The router also has a USB 2.0 port and an expansion slot for an RS232 DB-9 serial, dual Fast Ethernet or 20-pin GPIO module.

The S400 operates from -20 °C to 60 °C and is tested to MIL-STD-810H shock and vibration methods. It holds Class I Div 2 and ATEX 2 certification. Power comes from a 9–33 VDC input or 802.3af PoE, and typical draw is 4.1 W.

For five years, the Essentials plan provides NetCloud Manager for management, policies and software updates, plus connect-and-go zero trust security and 24x7 support. It also includes a limited lifetime hardware warranty while the subscription remains active. A NetCloud IoT Advanced Plan can be added at any time.

Ideal for

  • Long-term cellular connectivity for kiosks and payment terminals
  • Digital signage networks managed centrally over five years
  • Light industrial monitoring via serial or GPIO modules
  • Asset tracking and portable IoT with built-in GNSS
  • Federal and public-sector IoT programs that require TAA-compliant hardware
