IBR600C Series Router

2024-08-16

The Ericsson Cradlepoint IBR600C router for IoT networks is a semi-ruggedized, cloud-managed LTE router, built for IoT and M2M applications. They provide a resilient, LTE connection ideal for use in high-availability, portable, or fixed uses. The IBR600C router is available with IoT NetCloud Service Plans, which provide features optimized for each unique deployment.

 

Semi-Ruggedized IoT Solution

 

When coupled with the NetCloud IoT service plan, the IBR600C router provides a compact semi-ruggedized 4G LTE router solution for connecting and protecting IoT devices at scale. It is ideal for use in high-availability portable or fixed applications such as surveillance cameras, digital signs, oil and gas monitoring, and parallel networking. With an extensive list of features, it can be confidently deployed in the field, in buildings, or in embedded systems to deliver complete visibility, security, and control of connected devices anywhere.

 

Robust Cloud Managed IoT Solution

 

For organizations requiring robust connectivity for IoT networks — with installed routers numbering from hundreds to many thousands — Ericsson’s NetCloud Service for IoT with the IBR600C router provides a comprehensive cloud managed network solution. When coupled with advanced IoT features, it provides troubleshooting and diagnostics with in-band and out-of-band management, extensive analytics and insights, and extensibility and integrations such as Microsoft Azure IoT Central. Ericsson Cradlepoint NetCloud-managed IoT endpoints can be rapidly deployed and easily scaled to accommodate the diverse requirements of organizations.

 

Product PageNetCloud ServiceQuick Start Guide

Ericsson NetCloud Service for the IBR600C router includes the appropriate router software with powerful cloud management features for managing IoT at scale. The NetCloud Service includes cloud-based management for optimizing routing, VPN, SD-WAN, and security capabilities. The cloud capabilities include defining and applying policies, at-a-glance status insights, reports, troubleshooting, and analytics dashboards. The service includes a warranty for as long as an active IoT Essentials or Essentials + Advanced subscription on the router, online training, live and online support, and all software and firmware updates.

Router Services

Next generation hardware provides local processing power to handle demanding, router-delivered services, such as support for VPN tunneling encryption including DMVPN, IPsec, GRE, and other tunneling technologies.

Security Services

NetCloud Service includes security features and options to optimize the IBR600C router to meet the evolving security needs of IoT. The service includes a stateful zone-based firewall, an authenticated wireless connection that is fully isolated from the surrounding networks, and the ability to add content filtering with Zscaler.

Extensibility and Integrations

NetCloud Service and the IBR600C router can access network data that third-party applications need to provide higher levels of insights and control. Leverage pre-built connections to partner applications or create custom connections across a variety of use cases using the NetCloud SDK or NetCloud API.

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 cloud-orchestrated hub and spoke VPN network and gain insights and analytics required for rapid troubleshooting and diagnostic workflows.

†Cellular carriers and operators throughout the world may only require telecom industry certifications, like PTCRB or GCF, to operate on their network. Some carriers require additional testing and approval, beyond telecom certifications. A carrier listed in the approvals section means Cradlepoint completed additional testing and acquired technical approval for that given carrier. Any carrier not listed may not require additional testing or approval beyond telecom industry certifications to operate on their network.
