Ericsson Cradlepoint R980-FIPS 5G Ruggedized Router, CAT 19 LTE, FIPS 140-3 Certified

With national security at stake, agencies rely on secure Ericsson Cradlepoint solutions that support segmentation, VPNs, and content filtering, and that are FIPS Compliant. The Federal Information Processing Standard 140-3 (FIPS 140-3) is an information technology security accreditation program for validating that the cryptographic modules produced by private sector companies meet well-defined security standards. Ericsson Cradlepoint’s FIPS 140-3 Inside certifications allows continued support of its commitment to deliver highly-secure, cloud-managed networking solutions for mission-critical applications and environments that require the strictest of protections.

The Ericsson Cradlepoint R980-FIPS is a ruggedized 5G router that delivers high-performance connectivity to vehicles, enabling the deployment of advanced applications such as AI-driven video recognition and real-time data analysis. From military bases and disaster response to offices and remote work, U.S. agencies need highly secure and reliable access to mission-critical information and applications. The compact R980-FIPS delivers secure and persistent 5G connectivity, even in the most demanding conditions. It can also be leveraged in IoT deployments where video and mission critical applications may require higher performance and lower latency. With its 3rd generation 5G architecture, the R980-FIPS is 3GPP Release 16 compatible, ensuring readiness for standalone (SA) networks and network slicing, including public safety slices and low latency network slices for IoT. The router’s new, embedded e-SIM will enable over-the-air carrier switching in future NetCloud releases, adding deployment flexibility and operational efficiency. This forward-looking design makes the R980-FIPS an ideal solution for organizations readying to leverage 5G’s full potential in their vehicle fleets.

NetCloud Features for Mobile and IoT

The R980-FIPS Series is part of a NetCloud Mobile Essentials or NetCloud Ruggedized IoT Essentials Package. Ericsson NetCloud provides connectivity, network, security, and location services to connect everything in the vehicle or IoT deployment while providing access to IT for remote management, troubleshooting, and analytics. 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's Cradlepoint University.
