Telecommunications provider Ericsson, which acquired the former Cradlepoint in 2020, is addressing the growing need for resilient, intelligent connectivity in mobile environments with the new Ericsson Cradlepoint R2400 and extensible RC1250 modem. Designed for vehicles and mobile field teams, this solution combines ultra-fast failover, precise location services, and powerful edge computing.
Compatible with public safety networks and new network slicing services, the R2400 leverages the latest 5G standalone Release 17 technology to support new capabilities across public safety, mass transit, and private fleet networks.
Key highlights include:
Fast Carrier Failover: Dual SIM/Dual Standby (DSDS) on a single modem enables carrier switchover that the company claims is roughly 10× faster than previous approaches and keeps voice, video, and data flowing during critical missions and transit routes.
Centimeter-Level Location Accuracy: Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) combined with dead reckoning improves positioning from 1–3 meters to ~1 cm, enabling lane-level vehicle identification and precise real-time tracking of personnel, assets, and drones.
Multi-Link Resiliency: Support for up to five simultaneous cellular links plus multiple low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite connections maximizes throughput and availability, even in rural or low-coverage areas.
High performance in vehicle Wi-Fi: An embedded 4x4 software-defined Wi-Fi 7 access point delivers approximately 2–4× faster Wi-Fi speeds for passenger and operational communications across mass transit and public safety.
As first responders and mass-transit agencies adopt AI, real-time monitoring, and autonomous vehicles and drones, reliable, scalable in-vehicle connectivity is becoming critical. Paired with the extensible RC1250 modem, the R2400 delivers pay-as-you-grow WAN capacity for applications such as live video streaming while providing on-board local AI inferencing.
Key improvements over prior generations of products include:
Expanded Edge Compute: 2.5x more on-device compute to support local AI inferencing, computer vision, and enhanced performance for containerized applications.
Faster Security Processing: 2x more throughput to support NetCloud SASE’s zero-trust security and SD-WAN services that provide a highly secure and optimized WAN network across fleets, sites, and critical assets.
Future-Proof Modularity: A unique extensible architecture allows organizations to add or upgrade 5G modems as carrier technology evolves without replacing the router.
AI-Assisted Centralized Management and Orchestration: In addition to providing centralized visibility into every vehicle and its location, NetCloud offers an agentic AI virtual expert optimized for enterprise 5G networking to help improve the productivity of lean IT teams. AIOps dashboards help pinpoint anomalies before impacting service.
