You've been burned before. The previous router's cloud subscription lapsed mid-project and suddenly your SD-WAN rules were gone, your VPN tunnels dropped, and the IT guy at HQ was on hold for forty minutes.
The Cradlepoint E300 (Cat 7 LTE variant) with a 3-year NetCloud Advanced subscription removes that anxiety. Three years of managed SD-WAN, IPSec VPN (400 Mbps throughput, 20 concurrent tunnels), stateful firewall at 940 Mbps, and application-aware analytics – no renewal call in the middle of a critical go-live.
Hardware-wise: five GbE RJ45 ports for your switches and PoE devices, dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz) for staff laptops, dual-SIM slots so you can run two carriers as failover, and 2× SMA connectors for your external antennas. Typical load is up to 50 clients and 130,000 concurrent TCP sessions.
Power is a standard 12 VDC supply from a 100–240 VAC wall adapter. UL/cUL and EN 62368-1 certified. Optional MC400 modular modem if you later want dual-modem redundancy.
Plug it in, screw on your antennas, and NetCloud is live. Three years of managed connectivity, no surprises
