Replacement Models
Cradlepoint AER2200
More robust than the AER16xx series, the AER2200 series should be able to accommodate your organizations needs.
Designed for small to mid-sized branch operations, the Cradlepoint AER2200 is an all-in-one router that offers organizations the high availability of embedded Gigabit-Class LTE and ease of use of point-and-click cloud management. The AER2200 is an ideal solution for retail stores, clinics, restaurants, and stores within- stores.
Cradlepoint E3000
For complex branch networks that are looking for future-proofed solutions capable of 5G operation. This series of devices should be a suitable replacement for most AER16XX EOL models.
NetCloud Enterprise Branch with E3000 Series Router makes it easy to accelerate connecting to the Internet and critical applications from anywhere. Designed for traditional medium branches or locations requiring flexible connectivity, reliable performance, and simplified management, this all-in-one, compact endpoint includes full-featured routing, security, and Wi-Fi without needing extra hardware or complicated configurations.
Cradlepoint IBR200 (Generic)
The Sprint versions of the IBR200 are being discontinued since T-Mobile and Sprint are now one and the same. You should be able to transition to the Generic models of this device.
The Cradlepoint COR IBR200 LTE Internet Gateway is a compact, semi-ruggedized wireless router designed for secure, cloud-managed IoT networking. The COR IBR200 enables the use of low-cost M2M/IoT data plans from cellular carrier/operators, and with NetCloud Perimeter, addresses the biggest gap in IoT: security.
