Overview

The Ericsson Cradlepoint IBR600C is a compact, semi-ruggedized, cloud-managed LTE router built for IoT and M2M deployments. This North America (U.S. and Canada) package, part number TBA3-600C150M-NN, pairs the IBR600C with an embedded Cat 4 modem (150 Mbps down, 50 Mbps up), dual SIM slots, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 4 and passive GNSS. It also includes a 3-year NetCloud IoT Essentials + Advanced subscription for zero-touch deployment, cloud management and support. The metal housing runs from -20 °C to 60 °C and accepts 9-33 VDC input with ignition sensing.

  • Embedded LTE Cat 4 modem: up to 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink, 2x2 MIMO, DC-HSPA+ fallback
  • Dual 2FF SIM slots with SIM-based auto-carrier selection
  • 2x2 MIMO 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi 4 (2.4 GHz, 300 Mbps) with two SSIDs and WPA3 support
  • 1 x GbE and 1 x FE port (both LAN/WAN switchable), 1 x USB 2.0 and an extensibility port for a second modem via the COR Extensibility Dock
  • Passive GNSS supporting GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo
  • Semi-ruggedized metal housing, -20 °C to 60 °C operation, 9-33 VDC input with ignition sensing, MIL-STD 810G and SAE J1455
  • 3-year NetCloud IoT Essentials + Advanced subscription for North America (U.S. & Canada)
  • Deploy and manage fleets of IoT endpoints from NetCloud Manager with zero-touch deployment and bulk configuration

The Cradlepoint IBR600C is a small, semi-ruggedized LTE router for IoT networks. It suits kiosks, digital signage, remote sensors, vending, utility cabinets and light vehicle installs where a device needs a dependable cellular link and central management. This SKU is configured for North America (U.S. and Canada) and ships as a package with 3 years of Ericsson NetCloud IoT Essentials + Advanced. That subscription covers NetCloud Manager, software and firmware updates, 24x7 support and a limited lifetime hardware warranty for as long as the subscription stays active.

The embedded LTE Cat 4 modem delivers up to 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink with 2x2 MIMO, and falls back to DC-HSPA+. Two 2FF SIM slots with SIM-based auto-carrier selection let you run two carriers on one router. The North American modem covers LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 66 and 71 plus TDD bands 38, 40 and 41. It is PTCRB certified, carries AT&T and Verizon network certifications, and is FirstNet Trusted and Verizon Frontline certified for public-safety use.

On the local side, the router has one Gigabit and one Fast Ethernet port, both LAN/WAN switchable. It also offers single-band 2.4 GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi at up to 300 Mbps with two SSIDs and WPA3, a USB 2.0 port and passive multi-constellation GNSS. An extensibility port accepts the COR Extensibility Dock, which adds a second modem (MC400) and extra GPIO.

The package includes a 12 VDC 3A AC power supply and two 600 MHz to 6 GHz paddle antennas. For vehicle installs, the 9-33 VDC input adds reverse-polarity and transient protection (ISO 7637-2) plus ignition sensing. The unit is rated to MIL-STD 810G and SAE J1455. A manufacturer datasheet is available for full technical detail.

Ideal for

  • Kiosks, digital signage and vending machines needing a managed LTE link
  • Remote sensors, SCADA and utility cabinets with M2M telemetry
  • Light vehicle and portable deployments using ignition sensing and GNSS location
  • Dual-carrier IoT endpoints where uptime matters
  • Public-safety IoT on FirstNet or Verizon Frontline
