Cradlepoint CBA850 Branch Cellular Router with NetCloud Management, Cat 4, 6, or 12 Modem

The Cradlepoint CBA850 advanced LTE router, along with their NetCloud Branch Essentials plan, offers organizations reliable communications with up to Gigabit-Class LTE speed. The CBA850 serves as a primary connection to the Internet over the cellular network. Or, it provides a backup or secondary means of communication. If your primary or “wired” connection goes down, it will instantly fail-over to 4G LTE to keep your network running seamlessly.

With intuitive point-and-click cloud management, this solution is ideal for small and mid-sized businesses, branch offices, clinics, retailers, restaurants, and other operations requiring a reliable, secured Internet connection. Converting cellular to Ethernet also makes it ideal for connecting remote systems like kiosks, point-of-sale, and digital signs to the cloud. The Cradlepoint CBA850 incorporates an IP passthrough that monitors the WAN connection. Whenever a link failure is detected, the traffic automatically routes over the LTE connection.

The CBA850 is equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual SIM slots with auto-carrier selection, Power over Ethernet (PoE), GPS, and out-of-band management. A choice of modem allows you to match your monthly cellular data usage to throughput. Of course, the Cradlepoint CBA850 comes with full router functions, security, and network management.

NetCloud Branch Package

Cradlepoint NetCloud Branch Services is a service-based platform that spans from cloud to edge to make deploying, managing, and evolving a wireless WAN easier and less resource-intensive than ever before. Centrally monitor, visualize, control, and troubleshoot your network from a web console. Easily configure routing, security, LTE, SD-WAN, and WiFi functionality at the network, rather than the appliance level. The NetCloud optimizes LTE connections, making them reliable and bandwidth-efficient.

NetCloud provides cloud management, software-defined WAN, 24x7 support, and a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the CBA850. Cloud management greatly simplifies branch networking, offering quick deployment and a “zero-touch” configuration. Sold in a one, three, or five-year subscription plan, NetCloud provides remote settings, control of your deployed routers, and network security. The NetCloud Advanced option adds features such as data traffic analytics, firewall, and URL content filtering.
