Description
The Cradlepoint E3000 is a high-performance, native 5G router designed to deliver ultra-fast, enterprise-grade connectivity for medium to large branches, healthcare sites, and command centers. Fully optimized for both public and private networks, it enables secure, high-bandwidth primary or failover connectivity without requiring external adapters.
As the direct upgrade to legacy LTE models, this version of the E3000 features an embedded 5G low/mid-band modem (with Cat 20 LTE fallback) alongside robust support for CBRS Band 48. Built for sophisticated enterprise networks, it features nine GbE ports, one 2.5 GbE port, 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, and an SFP+ 10 Gbps port for ultra-high-speed wired networking. Its modular design supports a second internal modem for dual-carrier redundancy, advanced security features, and centralized NetCloud management.
Key Features
Connectivity & Network Support
- Features an embedded 5G NR / Cat 20 LTE modem (delivering up to 4.14 Gbps downlink) with full support for private cellular and CBRS Band 48.
- Fully compatible as a controller for external Cradlepoint 5G Wideband Adapters if outdoor or directional signal propagation is required.
High-Performance Networking
- Nine GbE ports, one 2.5 GbE port, and one 10 Gbps SFP+ port enable robust wired performance and flexible WAN/LAN mapping.
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) supports fast wireless networking for up to 100 devices.
Dual Modem Support
- An available MC400 expansion slot allows for an optional second 5G or LTE modem, enabling simultaneous multi-carrier failover or bandwidth augmentation for critical uptime.
Enterprise-Grade Security
- Built-in firewalls, IDS/IPS, Secure Threat Management, and FIPS 140-3 Level 1 (in process) provide comprehensive data protection.
Remote Management
- Managed through Cradlepoint’s NetCloud platform for zero-touch deployment, policy enforcement, analytics, and over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Connectivity Requirements
To operate the E3000 on CBRS or cellular networks, you’ll need:
- A nano SIM provisioned on a supported public carrier or private LTE/5G network.
- An active Cradlepoint NetCloud subscription is required for full device functionality, support, and warranty coverage.
Deploying CBRS-capable routers or hotspots requires careful setup — from SIM provisioning and network profile configuration to device management and connectivity testing. Reach out here to get started.
