About This Device
The TU-BEA4-1855-5GC-GN bundles the Cradlepoint W1855 Wideband 5G adapter with a 4-year NetCloud Branch 5G Adapter Essentials + Advanced subscription, so hardware, licensing, support, and warranty arrive on one purchase order and renew on one date. This is a Trade Up SKU: Ericsson's trade-in pricing for organizations replacing legacy or competitive edge hardware — confirm program eligibility with your account team before ordering. This is the Americas configuration of the bundle.
The integrated 5G modem connects to sub-6 GHz 5G networks and falls back to 4G LTE automatically where 5G is not yet available, while dual SIM slots let you load a primary and a backup carrier for true multi-carrier resilience. Because the W1855 presents that connection to your infrastructure over Ethernet, it drops into existing networks without redesign: keep your current firewall, routing, and policies, and simply add a wireless WAN path.
On the management side, NetCloud provides zero-touch provisioning, remote configuration, real-time health and usage visibility, alerting, and API access from a single cloud console — one administrator can run hundreds of sites without leaving the NOC. The Advanced tier layered on top extends the platform with additional security, networking, and visibility capabilities beyond the Essentials baseline.
It is a strong fit for branches and campuses that want to add 5G as a primary or secondary WAN without replacing the routing and security stack already in place. The bundle delivers the W1855 unit and activation of the 4-year subscription; Cradlepoint hardware carries warranty coverage for as long as the NetCloud subscription stays active, so the whole package is covered end to end for the full term.
