Ericsson Cradlepoint R1900

2026-08-18

The Ericsson NetCloud Mobile Performance Service with the R1900 5G router is a ruggedized 5G networking platform, designed to provide persistent connectivity for in-vehicle deployments. Ericsson NetCloud provides connectivity, network, security, location, and IoT services to connect everything in the vehicle, while providing access to IT for remote management, troubleshooting, and analytics.

Ideal for High-Performance In-Vehicle Connectivity

For organizations that depend on field forces and mobile networks, the Ericsson Cradlepoint R1900 with the Ericsson NetCloud Mobile Performance Service plan provides a ruggedized GNSS/GPS-enabled in-vehicle network solution. When coupled with the Advanced Mobile Performance Service plan, it provides threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality including location tracking and cellular coverage maps. The R1900 accommodates environmentally harsh environments while delivering enterprise-class standards of reliability, scalability, comprehensive management, and security.

5G Embedded High-Performance Solution

The R1900 mobile router includes an embedded 5G modem that can automatically connect to Cat 20 LTE if the vehicle moves outside of 5G coverage. In addition, the R1900 router is designed to accept the RX30 managed accessories which provide either four additional GbE PoE ports or four additional GbE ports and a second modular modem. It also has the ability to act as a controller for a separate Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G wideband adapter. These two capabilities, along with the continually improved Ericsson NetCloud platform, ensure the ability for future expansion and the best investment protection available.

Ericsson NetCloud Mobile Performance Service with the R1900 mobile router provides everything needed to unlock the power of 5G and connect vehicles, users, and IoT to critical applications and services. Ericsson NetCloud includes router software for optimizing routing, VPN, SD-WAN, and security capabilities along with capabilities centralized in the cloud such as group policy definition, reports, troubleshooting, and analytics dashboards as well as cellular coverage maps. The service comes with a warranty for as long as there is an active subscription on the router, online training, live and online support, and continuous software updates for both the router and the modem.

Coverage Map

Ericsson NetCloud uses GNSS/GPS and 5G/4G cellular health to provide precise analytics about location and signal strength. Data can be mapped to display both the current and historical locations of a vehicle, as well as generate detailed coverage maps that display cellular health, allowing users to gain operational insights and solve problems.

Advanced Software Lifecycle Management

Ericsson NetCloud improves the typical software lifecycle management process. New features are continuously delivered to Ericsson NetCloud and become available for the router without interrupting network performance. Software versions are tracked for every endpoint, with the latest update just a click away. Straightforward subscription and license management is easily accessible and provided to keep the network running without interruption.

Security Services

Ericsson NetCloud Advanced Service includes security features that include application aware zone-based firewall, CP Secure Threat Management (IPS/IDS), and CP Secure Web Filter for protecting your network and meeting the evolving security needs of in-vehicle environments.

Connection Manager

Connection Manager provides the ability to manage all WAN connection types, including wireless, Wi-Fi-as-WAN, and wired, from a single software-defined policy. Our proprietary modem software enables users to quickly establish robust Wireless WAN connectivity while maintaining the highest level of resiliency.

The following features are delivered through the hardware.

^†All antenna interfaces require cabled out external antennas and are not compatible with direct-attached antennas.
^††Wi-Fi and cellular performance may degrade, the RX30 managed accessory is not supported, and the 5G cellular modem might fallback to LTE connectivity when operating above 70 °C.
^†††Performance testing was conducted based on requirements as defined in RFC2544 using fixed-frame 1518-byte packets. Throughput results reflect unidirectional UDP traffic with less than 1% packet loss as tested with wired connections. Results do not reflect performance of the cellular wireless operator networks.
††††The specified performance corresponds to a Microtunnel configuration.

^†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, to operate on their network. 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.
