Your branch needs a backhaul that doesn't blink. The wired ISP either isn't on the street or keeps shedding at peak hours, and you can't afford another 'we're investigating' ticket.
The Cradlepoint W1850 is built for exactly that. Embedded 5G modem, dual SIM so one carrier dropping doesn't take your site down, and two 2.5 GbE ports (LAN/WAN switchable) so you're not bottlenecked at the wired end. Four SMA connectors mean you can point antennas where the signal actually is.
It's an indoor unit — no rooftop mast, no weatherproofing drama. You slot it in, run the cables, and NetCloud Advanced keeps the whole thing managed from one dashboard. Three years of that service is bundled in.
Global spectrum support means it works across carriers and regions without a firmware lottery. 2.0 Gbps throughput in IP passthrough, NAT, or captive modem mode. Power via the included AC adapter or an 802.3at PoE switch (30W).
If your branch is the one that keeps going quiet on a Tuesday afternoon, this is the fix that stays fixed
