Ericsson Cradlepoint R980 Series Ruggedized Router

Description

Ericsson Cradlepoint R980 Series Ruggedized Router

The Ericsson Cradlepoint R980 is a ruggedized, secure appliance and router that broadens access to the increased speed and performance of 5G to support advanced applications and critical communications. Designed for the 5G future, it is 5G network slicing ready with the deployment flexibility of eSIMs which allow carrier switching without changing physical SIMs. (eSIM will be functional with future NetCloud releases.) It is a ruggedized 5G networking platform able to withstand wide temperature extremes, harsh environments, and hazardous locations while delivering enterprise-class standards of reliability, scalability, comprehensive management, and security. The R980 is available with either Mobile or Ruggedized IoT NetCloud service plans, providing features optimized for the needs of the differing deployments. The R980 also supports NetCloud Exchange and SASE services, which provide Zero Trust Network Access and cellular-optimized SD-WAN.

High-Performance Vehicle Connectivity

The Ericsson Cradlepoint R980 router with the NetCloud Mobile service plan provides a ruggedized GNSS/GPS-enabled in-vehicle network solution. When coupled with the Advanced Mobile service plan, it provides threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality such as location tracking and cellular coverage maps. The R980 with SD-WAN provides resilient in-vehicle connections by optimizing traffic across LTE, 5G, 5G stand-alone network slices, satellite, and Wi-Fi as WAN.

Ruggedized IoT Solution

When combined with the NetCloud Ruggedized IoT service plan, the R980 provides a versatile, ruggedized 5G router solution for connecting and protecting IoT devices at scale. It can be deployed in a wide range of environmentally harsh IoT use cases such as oil and gas, utility, and smart city infrastructure, in addition to next-gen kiosks, and video surveillance, deployments. The ruggedized design and CBRS band support make it ideal for private networks. In addition, the solution is highly extensible with APIs, SDKs, and integrations into IoT platforms, and the generous memory supports onboard edge containers.
