4G LTE for Failover Link Diversity
LTE wireless WANs provide a powerful, flexible, and cost-effective failover option to minimize disruption in the event of an outage. Working in conjunction with an existing router or SD-WAN, the CBA550 adapter establishes a cellular connection based on established failover policies. With this adapter, many remote location operations and applications continue functioning while in failover.
Day-1 Connectivity for Rapid Deployment
Establish secure network connections to get operations running while waiting for a wired connection. CBA550 adapters uniquely connect through LTE independently of the primary link so they do not require prior connection through wired networks. Cradlepoint wireless broadband solutions can be set up in hours with zero-touch deployment without IT staff on location, so local personnel can set up the network. Once the wired link is established, the CBA550 adapter falls into backup mode.
Features and Benefits:
Key Software Capabilities
The NetCloud Service provides everything needed to unlock the power of LTE at the network edge and connect devices to critical applications and services. It enables customers to build and manage wireless WANs with complete lifecycle management, true zero-touch deployment, and robust security. 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.
Cradlepoint Verify™ Mobile Application
As an extension to NetCloud, Cradlepoint Verify helps installers quickly and accurately install the CBA550 adapter for optimal LTE signal reception. Upon a verified installation, users receive a detailed report that includes installation pictures, speed test results, and modem health metrics.

* 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.
