S400/S450 Antennas

Approved High-Performance Antennas for the S400 and S450 Routers

The Ericsson Cradlepoint S400 and S450 Routers for IoT networks are semi-ruggedized, cloud-managed LTE routers, built for light industrial, IoT, and portable applications where security is a foundational requirement. Offering connectivity through LTE plus wired and Wi-Fi options, the S400/S450 are ideal for high-availability portable or fixed applications such as surveillance cameras, digital signs, and control sensors. The S400/450 provides multiple antennas functions:

The Ericsson Cradlepoint S400 includes two LTE antennas and one WiFi antenna. The S450 does not include WiFi.

The S400 and S450 are designed for light industrial, digital signage, building controls, and kiosk use cases. These applications depend on a stable wireless connection, and as such, reliable antennas are fundamental to quality communications.

Outdoor, mobile, and remote locations may require the LTE antenna to be elevated on a pole or mounted securely to a vehicle’s surface. Brackets are available to position the antenna high on a mast, and magnetic bases secure the antenna to a vehicle’s rooftop or trunk lid. These omnidirectional antennas are suited for extreme locations and are IP65 or IP7-rated to prevent dust and water ingress.

Combination antennas consist of a single radome with multiple antenna elements packed inside of it. Each comes with a set of low-loss cables with various lengths, so you can place the antennas where you need them. Our combination antennas are from top-tier manufacturers and are Ericsson Cradlepoint-approved for the S400 and S450 routers.

Two antennas are recommended for best bandwidth, predictable behavior, and enhanced LTE performance. However, you may connect a SISO antenna to a connector to restrict throughput and save money, power, and space. In most cases, a single cellular antenna will establish communication.
