The R920 Series, a versatile LTE router with a wide span of use cases, provides flexible connectivity in vehicles and IoT deployments. With its IP64 ruggedization rating and certifications for public safety networks, the Ericsson Cradlepoint R920 can be used in harsh environments such as automobile trunks, warehouses, NEMA enclosures, kiosks, building automation, oil and gas, utility, and smart city infrastructure deployments. The R920 supports a managed accessory that allows the addition of a 5G modular modem for increased performance and multiple carrier support. The ruggedized design and the CBRS band support make it ideal for private networks. The solution is highly extensible with APIs, SDKs, and integrations into IoT platforms, and the generous memory supports onboard edge containers and security services.
As part of a NetCloud Mobile or NetCloud Ruggedized IoT Package, Ericsson NetCloud provides connectivity, network, security, and location services to connect everything in the vehicle or IoT deployment. These services also provide IT access to secure remote management, troubleshooting, and analytics without requiring onsite staff. When coupled with the Mobile Performance service plan, organizations gain a full suite of security and AVL capabilities, including threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality with location tracking and cellular coverage maps. The Ericsson Cradlepoint R920 also supports NetCloud Exchange services, which provide Zero Trust Network Access and 5G optimized SD-WAN. Combined with the RX20 Managed Accessory, the R920 can be field upgraded to include a second LTE or 5G modem. NetCloud Service for IoT encompasses a suite of technologies designed for IoT applications: reliability, security, management, and data orchestration. Each service includes: Centralized endpoint management with insights and visual analytics, 24×7 enterprise support and a limited lifetime warranty, and On-demand training with Ericsson Cradlepoint University.
Enable your R920 with a cost-effective monthly data plan to ensure your router is ready to deploy. Select Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T, and the data plan size from 100 MB to Unlimited GB. You are billed monthly; there’s no long-term contract. Plus, manage all of your fielded gateways from a single cloud-based web portal.
