# Ericsson Cradlepoint E3000

*Data sheet · 2026-08-18*

![Ericsson Cradlepoint E3000](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt3865503214dbe535/69e5904e9276b98f2d9250c9/34246_e3000-hero-ds-1000px.png)

The Ericsson NetCloud Service for Branch with an E3000 enterprise router is suited for fixed offices, healthcare, financial services and retail locations, ideally when combined with need for security services at scale with performance. The all-in-one form factor includes full-featured routing, security, switching with PoE ports and Wi-Fi, making it easy to connect branches to the Internet and critical applications without the need for extra hardware or complicated configurations. And the embedded LTE or 5G modem means that connectivity is always available from day one without waiting for a wired connection.

## Ideal for Wireless WAN

For an all-wireless WAN, the E3000 router offers Gigabit LTE or 5G NR1 performance, which can support the throughput and service needs of an enterprise branch office or store with the ability to add a second LTE or 5G connection for increased available bandwidth and reliability. For organizations moving to a wireless WAN, the E3000 router offers the ability to pair with a wired link and use LTE or 5G as a failover connection or a primary connection.

## 5G Performance Embedded or Optimized

The E3000 enterprise branch router offers 5G performance in two form factors. As a router with embedded 5G, the platform ships standard with the modem as well as a second slot for dual modem capabilities. As a 5G-optimized LTE router, it has the ability to act as a controller for an Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G wideband adapter so that the modem can be placed for optimal signal coverage. The unique capability of Ericsson to operate the adapter in captive mode means that the two separate, Ethernet-connected appliances can be managed as a single entity. The two form factors ensure 5G performance in the manner that best suits the deployment needs.

## Notable Features

- Gain agility through an embedded Cat 18 LTE or 5G NR modem for fast day-1 or primary connectivity.
- Terminate a primary wired broadband link with LTE or 5G as failover for highly resilient hybrid connectivity.
- Enable larger branch locations needing security and connections to cloud-based applications.
- Integrate into your existing network with standards-based dynamic routing and VPN tunnel support.
- Define policies through centralized, cloud-based management for easy deployment at scale.
- Add a second cellular modem for dual LTE or 5G connectivity
- Add hardware redundancy by pairing mirrored routers with VRRP to optimize uptime.

## Key Software Capabilities

The Ericsson NetCloud Service for Branch with an E3000 router provides everything needed to unlock the power of LTE or 5G at the network edge and connect users and IoT devices to critical applications and services. Ericsson NetCloud includes routing, VPN, SD-WAN, and security capabilities for robust, enterprise-class performance. Cloud-based management designed for simplification, insights and scale includes group policy definition, reports, troubleshooting, and analytics dashboards. The service includes a warranty for as long as there is an active subscription on the router, online training, live and online support, and all software and firmware updates.

### Router Services

The next generation hardware has the processing power to handle demanding router delivered services, dynamic routing protocols, and application aware traffic steering, supported with our exclusive Ericsson NetCloud Essentials + Advanced software package.

### Security Services

Ericsson NetCloud Essentials + Advanced packages include security features and options, such as stateful zone-based firewall, intrusion prevention, and threat protection, to optimize the E3000 router to meet the evolving security needs of distributed environments. Additional security add-ons from leading technology partners make a rich security stack manageable from NetCloud.

### Connection Manager

Connection Manager provides the ability to manage all WAN connections types, both wireless and wired, from a single software-defined policy. Our custom-built modem software ensures users establish wireless WAN connectivity faster while maintaining the highest level of resiliency.

### Cloud Services

NetCloud Manager delivers true zero-touch deployment with the ability to define and deliver policy across entire groups of endpoints. Users can create a cloudorchestrated hub and spoke VPN network and gain insights and analytics required for rapid troubleshooting and diagnostic workflows.
