Sometimes referred to as small cells, these CAPs form the private radio access network (RAN) that cellular endpoints and clients connect to and are authenticated through the Ericsson Private 5G Compact Mobility Gateway. All indoor and outdoor CAPs work together to create contiguous private network connectivity across the entire customer landscape. ## Ideal Wireless LAN Solution When Wi-Fi doesn’t provide adequate coverage, reliability, or client mobility, a private cellular network (PCN) is an ideal solution. Outside of smaller commercial locations, Wi-Fi’s “best effort” connectivity is not good enough at best, and often results in costly losses for larger footprint businesses due to connection dead zones, sticky clients, and limited coverage capabilities – especially outdoors. The Ericsson Private 5G Compact A2400 inherently solves these issues by elegantly balancing deployment and management simplicity with powerful insights and control. ## Reliability You Can Count On Ericsson Private 5G Compact excels in network determinism, client mobility, and overall reliability, markedly outperforming Wi-Fi. PCNs ensure predictable network behavior with guaranteed bandwidth, essential for critical applications. Unlike Wi-Fi, where client devices determine handoffs, potentially leading to connectivity gaps, Ericsson Private 5G Compact manages client mobility seamlessly across multiple CAPs, ensuring devices maintain stable connections. This systemwide approach to managing connections enhances the reliability of the LAN, reducing downtime and maintaining consistent network performance. ## Notable Features - Plug and play CAPs with automated provisioning and quick boot up. - Sleek form factor with built-in antennas and aesthetics similar to a Wi-Fi AP. - Utilizes dedicated spectrum and advanced interference management, significantly reducing the risk of connection drops and ensuring superior connectivity. - Flexible power options with PoE+ or DC input. - Time Division Duplex (TDD) modes 1 and 2 enable customizable uplink and downlink throughputs. - [Product Page](https://cradlepoint.ericsson.com/products/radios/a2400-cellular-access-point/) - [NetCloud Service](https://cradlepoint.ericsson.com/products/netcloud/netcloud-service/) - [Quick Start Guide](https://docs.cradlepoint.com/r/A2400-Series-CAP-Installation-Guide) ## Cellular Access Point Specifications The CAP is a TDD-LTE small cell with internal antennas that provides connectivity to the SIM-authenticated devices in the private network. | INTERFACES | | | --- | --- | | Ethernet: | 2 x GbE | | Cellular: | Inbuilt with internal antenna | | GNSS/GPS: | Inbuilt with external antenna support through SMA | | ENVIRONMENTAL | | | Temperature: | Operating: -5 °C to 40 °C (23 °F to 104 °F) Storage: -40 °C to 70 °C (-40 °F to 158 °F) | | Humidity: | Operating: 5% to 90% non-condensing Storage: 5% to 95% non-condensing | | Ingress Protection: | IP30 | | PHYSICAL | | | Size: | 265 mm x 210 mm x 80 mm (10.4 in x 8.3 in x 3.1 in) | | Weight: | 2.2 kg (4.9 lbs) | | POWER | | | Input: | One of the following: 12 VDC constant voltage (100-240 VAC input, 12 V/2.5 A DC power adapter cable included) PoE+ 802.3at Type 2 | | Maximum Load: | 21 W | | RADIO SPECIFICATIONS | | | Operating Modes: | Single Carrier mode Carrier Aggregation mode | | Active Clients: | Single Carrier mode: Up to 64 Carrier Aggregation mode: Up to 64 | | Single Carrier Peak Rates (based on 10 MHz BW): | TDD Config 1 Downlink: 40 Mbps Uplink: 14 Mbps TDD Config 2 Downlink: 55 Mbps Uplink: 7 Mbps | | Carrier Aggregation Peak Rates (based on 20 MHz BW): | TDD Config 1 Downlink: 80 Mbps Uplink: 28 Mbps TDD Config 2 Downlink: 110 Mbps Uplink: 14 Mbps | | Carrier Aggregation: | Up to 2 CA (downlink only) | | MIMO: | 2x2 | | Modulation: | Downlink: Up to 64 QAM Uplink: Up to 64 QAM | | 4G/LTE Bands: | B48 | | Cellular Power: | 30 dBm EIRP | | Cellular Antennas: | 4 internal (omni-directional) | | Channel Bandwidth: | 10, 20 MHz | ## Ordering Guide Ericsson Private 5G Compact is comprised of a mobility gateway, cellular access point(s), and NetCloud Private SIMs, which all have corresponding Ericsson NetCloud Service plans.
