Overview

Advanced 5G connectivity where space is tight and uptime is everything. The Ericsson Cradlepoint R980 packs enterprise-grade cellular networking into a small footprint for vehicles and IoT, keeping fleets, first responders, and remote assets reliably connected on the move. It is built for resilience: critical traffic can be prioritized and isolated, carriers can be switched remotely, and connectivity fails over smoothly so field teams stay online. Zero Trust security and SD-WAN come built in, and the platform is extensible at the edge, letting you run and tailor applications close to where data is created. Everything is managed through Ericsson NetCloud, giving IT the visibility to configure, secure, and troubleshoot deployments from anywhere — with a subscription that keeps the device current and covered for as long as it stays active.
