Overview:
Built for vehicle and IoT deployments
The R2100 Series 5G Ruggedized Router is designed for vehicle and IoT deployments. This high-bandwidth, exterior-mounted solution provides mass transit, public safety, and other organizations optimal cellular performance in a uniquely flexible form factor. Designed to be mounted on the rooftop of a vehicle or attached to IoT cabinet enclosures, the R2100 integrates the modem, antennas, and router into a single aerodynamic, ruggedized casing allowing for simplified deployment. The R2100 is available with or without Wi-Fi 6 and can be deployed as a self-contained router or to supplement an existing router as a 5G adapter.
The R2100 Series is part of a NetCloud Mobile Performance or NetCloud Ruggedized IoT Package. Cradlepoint NetCloud provides connectivity, network, security, and location services to connect everything in the vehicle or IoT deployment while providing access to IT for remote management, troubleshooting, and analytics. When coupled with the Advanced Mobile Performance service plan, organizations gain a full suite of security and AVL capabilities, including threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality with location tracking and cellular coverage maps. The R2100 can also support the NetCloud Exchange services, which provide Zero Trust Network Access and 5G Optimized SD-WAN.

5G Ruggedized Router for High-Performance Vehicle and IoT Connectivity
The Cradlepoint R2100 Series 5G Ruggedized Router is available with the NetCloud Performance Mobile Service plan or the NetCloud Ruggedized IoT Service plan. Designed to be mounted on the roof of a vehicle or attached to IoT cabinet enclosures, the R2100 integrates the modem, antennas, and router into a single aerodynamic, ruggedized casing allowing for simplified deployment. The R2100 is sold with or without Wi-Fi 6 and can be deployed as a self-contained router or to supplement an existing router as a 5G adapter.
High Performance Captive Modem
Customers can add 5G to a current installation by deploying the R2100 Series as a Captive Modem with supported Cradlepoint controlling routers. This allows them both to be managed in NetCloud Manager as a single entity. The NetCloud management system treats the R2100 as an internal modem, eliminating the need for a separate license. Similarly, for select controlling routers, the R2100 Series can serve as an additional Wi-Fi source in captive mode to expand coverage for applications such as video offload. The R2100 Series can be PoE powered while providing a high-performance 5G connection over Ethernet.
Key Software Capabilities:
The R2100 Series 5G Ruggedized Router is enabled by a NetCloud Service subscription plan which includes everything needed to unlock the power of 5G at the network edge and connect devices to critical applications and services. It all works together, making it easy to deploy, connect, and secure edge applications at scale across the organization. The service includes a warranty for as long as there is an active subscription, online training, live and online support, and all software and firmware updates.
Coverage Map
NetCloud Advanced Mobile Performance Service 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
NetCloud improves the typical software lifecycle management process. New features are continuously delivered to 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
NetCloud Advanced Mobile Performance 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.
The R2100 supports NetCloud Exchange (NXC), a unified network and security WAN architecture built upon zero-trust principles and optimized for 5G. NCX helps lean IT organizations simplify deployment and management with shared policies and simplified processes.
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.

* 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.
