Product Overview

The Ericsson Cradlepoint E100-5G is a micro 5G SD-WAN appliance that brings enterprise-grade wireless WAN to small branch offices, pop-up locations, and remote sites — without the footprint or complexity of a full enterprise router.

Embedded 5G modem with Wi-Fi 5 dual-band concurrent, five GbE ports, and an optional lithium-ion battery backup that delivers up to eight hours of runtime during power failures. That battery option matters for branches where generator power is not guaranteed and cellular is the primary link. Operating temperature is 0–40C, suitable for interior office environments, kiosks, and small retail locations.

The E100-5G is FirstNet Trusted, meaning it meets public safety network requirements for government and first responder deployments. It supports dual SIM with automatic carrier selection and integrates fully with Ericsson NetCloud Manager for zero-touch provisioning and remote management. Firewall throughput of 850 Mbps and IPSec VPN support make it a complete security and connectivity solution, not just a modem.

For organizations that need reliable 5G in a small location without dedicating rack space or IT resources to it, the E100-5G handles the job. Available on GSA Schedule. RCN Technologies provides expert deployment and ongoing NOC support.
