Overview:

The R920 Series Ruggedized Router is a uniquely agile cellular networking solution that meets organizations' needs for flexible connectivity and product standardization for vehicles and IoT. The R920 Series is a ruggedized LTE networking platform available with either Mobile or Ruggedized IoT NetCloud service plans, providing features optimized for the needs of the differing deployments.

Built for vehicle and IoT deployments

The R920 Series, a versatile LTE router with a wide span of use cases, provides flexible connectivity in vehicles and IoT deployments. With its IP64 ruggedization rating and certifications for public safety networks, the R920 can be deployed in automobile trunks, warehouses, NEMA enclosures, and harsh environments. The R920 supports a managed accessory that allows the addition of a 5G modular modem for increased performance and multiple carrier support. The ruggedized design and the CBRS band support make it ideal for private networks. The solution is highly extensible with APIs, SDKs, and integrations into IoT platforms, and the generous memory supports onboard edge containers and security services.

As part of a NetCloud Mobile or NetCloud Ruggedized IoT Package, Cradlepoint NetCloud provides connectivity, network, security, and location services to connect everything in the vehicle or IoT deployment. These services also provide IT access to secure remote management, troubleshooting, and analytics without requiring onsite staff. When coupled with the 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 R920 also supports NetCloud Exchange services, which provide Zero Trust Network Access and 5G optimized SD-WAN.

  • Prioritize access to public safety networks for reliable, secure connectivity
  • Enable unified edge security with application-aware multizone firewalls, IDS/IPS, and available FIPS 140-3 Level 1 module in process
  • Extend your deployment and enable customized solutions with powerful edge compute capabilities, including containers, connectors, SDKs, and API support
  • Utilize the R920 on private cellular networks with Band 48 CBRS

High-Performance Vehicle Connectivity

The Cradlepoint R920 router with the NetCloud Mobile service plan provides a ruggedized GNSS/GPS-enabled in-vehicle network solution. Combined with the RX20 Managed Accessory, the R920 can be field upgraded to include a second LTE or 5G modem. When coupled with the Advanced Mobile service plan, it provides threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality such as location tracking and cellular coverage maps. The R920 also supports NetCloud Exchange services, which provide Zero Trust Network Access and cellular-optimized SD-WAN.

Ruggedized IoT Solution

When combined with the NetCloud Ruggedized IoT service plan, the R920 provides a versatile, ruggedized 4G LTE router solution for connecting and protecting IoT devices at scale. It can be deployed in a wide range of environmentally harsh IoT use cases such as kiosks, building automation, oil and gas, utility, and smart city infrastructure deployments. The ruggedized design and the CBRS band support make it ideal for private networks. In addition, the solution is highly extensible with APIs, SDKs, and integrations into IoT platforms, and the generous memory supports onboard edge containers. The R920 also supports NetCloud Exchange services, which provide Zero Trust Network Access and cellular-optimized SD-WAN.

Key Software Capabilities:


Cradlepoint NetCloud Service for the R920 provides everything needed to unlock the power of LTE and connect vehicles, users, and IoT to critical applications and services. The available NetCloud IoT or Mobile service plans include the appropriate router software with powerful cloud management features for managing IoT at scale, or specific mobile features like coverage maps, integrated content filtering, intrusion detection and protection, and application-aware analytics and networking. Everything within NetCloud works together, making it easy to deploy, connect, and secure edge applications at scale across the organization.


Coverage Map

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


Security Services

NetCloud Service includes security features and options to optimize the R920 router to meet the evolving security needs of mobile and IoT environments. The service includes a stateful zone-based firewall with the ability to add application-aware zone-based firewall, CP Secure Threat Management (IPS/IDS), and CP Secure Web Filter with the Advanced Mobile service plan.

The R920 supports NetCloud Exchange (NCX), a unified network and security WAN architecture built upon zero-trust principles and optimized for cellular. NCX helps lean IT organizations simplify deployment and management with shared policies and simplified processes.


Extensibility and Integrations

NetCloud Service and the R920 router can provide higher levels of insights and control by exchanging network data with third-party applications. Leverage pre-built connections to partner applications or create custom connections across a variety of use cases using the NetCloud Container Orchestrator, 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.
