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.

Working with Waveform on cell coverage solutions for Rancho Mirage's City Hall was a refreshingly positive experience! Waveform's team worked closely with us to understand our needs. They went above and beyond by designing an excellent system, communicating well, and supplying all the materials promptly. If only more of my projects went as well as this!
