You've got a new site opening next month, and the last time you waited on a national chain for networking gear, it took a week and arrived with no one to configure it. You need this sorted before your first client walks in.
The Cradlepoint E100 is a single box that does the job of a mini server room: embedded 5G modem, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, five GbE Ethernet ports, an 850 Mbps firewall, and 20 VPN tunnels for secure back-to-head-office links. No rack. No on-site engineer. Your person powers it up, NetCloud handles the rest.
This SKU includes a 1-year NetCloud Essentials subscription — cloud management, policy enforcement, analytics dashboards, live support, and all firmware updates for twelve months. Short-term commitment if you're testing a new location or bridging a gap before a fibre build completes.
Optional battery backup means a brownout doesn't take your branch offline. PTCRB-certified (U.S./Canada; AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon); regional carrier support varies by modem.
One box on the desk. Connection up by end of day
