Ericsson Cradlepoint S450 Semi-Ruggedized Cat 6 LTE Router (no WiFi) & NetCloud

Ericsson Cradlepoint S450 Small LTE IoT Router with GPS, Zero Trust IoT Connectivity

The Ericsson Cradlepoint S450 is a cloud managed, secure appliance and router for IoT networks. Offering connectivity through LTE, the S450 is designed for light industrial, digital signage, building controls, and kiosk use cases. As a semi-ruggedized, compact IoT device, its innovative design offers field-expandable interface options such as additional Ethernet ports, a serial port, and a GPIO switch. This adaptability allows IT specialists to tailor the device to specific deployment needs.

To ensure that even small, vulnerable IoT devices, which cannot support traditional security methods, remain secure, the S450 includes NetCloud SASE Secure Connect as a part of its subscription license. Secure Connect enables the deployment of a zero-trust network instantly, providing easy to deploy, comprehensive security for large-scale deployments such as IoT devices and vehicle networks.

With an IP30 rated housig built to withstand vibration and temperature extremes and designed for mounting on DIN rails, the S450 is ideal for use in light industrial appliactions such as SCADA, remote monitoring, smart city intelligent traffic control or in applications such as surveillance cameras, digital signs, and control sensors. With an extensive list of features, it can be confidently deployed in the field, in buildings, or embedded systems to deliver complete visibility, security, and control of ceonnected devices anywhere.

For organizations requiring robust connectivity for IoT networks - with installed routers numbering from hundreds to many thousands - Ericsson's NetCloud Secure Services for IoT with the S450 router provides a comprehensive cloud-managed network solution with NetCloud SASE Secure Connect included. With this zero-trust security, any IoT device connected to the S450 is immediately hidden from public scans and from devices connected to other routers. Access policies are easily defined so IoT devices communicate only with their authorized resoures on a least-priviledge basis. Ericsson's NetCloud-managed IoT endpoint can be rapidly deployed and easily scaled to accomodate the diverse requirements of organizations.

As a semi-ruggedized, compact IoT device, its innovative design offers field-expandable interface options such as additional Ethernet ports, a serial port, and a GPIO switch. This adaptability allows IT specialists to tailor the S450 to specific deployment needs.
