## Company Introduces First Product in its Second Generation ‘5G for Business’ Portfolio, Purpose-Built Ruggedized 5G Edge Router for In-Vehicle Connectivity and Edge Computing

**Boise, Idaho – April 8, 2021** – [Cradlepoint](https://cradlepoint.ericsson.com/), the global leader in cloud-delivered LTE and 5G wireless network edge solutions, today announced its new [R1900 Ruggedized 5G Edge Router](/products/endpoints/r1900-series/), powered by a Cradlepoint NetCloud subscription service that includes cloud-delivered software, endpoints, training, and support. The R1900 router is optimized for in-vehicle networks and offers superior ruggedness, performance, security, connectivity, and utility in a purpose-built, compact design. Again, Cradlepoint sets the bar for 5G wireless edge solutions.

The R1900, the first product to utilize Cradlepoint’s second-generation 5G architecture, supports nationwide coverage (low-band) and capacity (mid-band) networks at speeds up to 1Gbps as well as gigabit LTE. Powered by the Cradlepoint NetCloud Service, the R1900 delivers full 5G performance, enterprise-class security and SASE support, IoT connectivity with Bluetooth, and edge computing for Microsoft Azure IoT Central or AWS Greengrass environments.

According to a recent IDC report, the market for enterprise LTE and 5G routers is exploding and forecast to reach close to $3B by 2024. As 5G proliferates, enterprise and public sector organizations will take advantage of secure and fiber-fast 5G mobile networks to enable immersive applications for field force productivity and enhanced customer experiences.

Cradlepoint is a first-mover in the ‘5G for Business’ market, shipping the industry’s first enterprise-class 5G product back in June 2020. The R1900 is the first product to launch using its second-generation 5G architecture — most network vendors have not shipped their first 5G product. The company’s early 5G and long-standing mobile and IoT experience helped create a global mobile platform that supports the fiber-fast speeds and breadth of use cases enabled by 5G worldwide.
