Product Overview

The Ericsson Cradlepoint E300-5G is a mid-range 5G SD-WAN appliance designed for organizations that have outgrown a micro router but do not need a full enterprise stack. It delivers significantly higher throughput than the E100, with peak downlink speeds up to 4.14 Gbps and Wi-Fi 6 for demanding multi-device environments.

The E300-5G supports the MC400 modular modem expansion, enabling dual-carrier configurations for sites that require multi-carrier redundancy or load balancing. A 10 GbE SFP+ port handles high-speed backhaul when a wired uplink is available. Firewall throughput of 940 Mbps and IPS throughput at the same rate mean security is not a bottleneck.

This is the router for government branch offices, county agency locations, regional facilities, and medium-sized enterprise sites that need to run 5G as primary with a reliable failover architecture. Wi-Fi 6 handles the density of modern office environments without degradation.

Available on GSA Schedule. Integrates with Ericsson NetCloud Manager for centralized policy management and real-time monitoring. RCN Technologies deploys and supports the E300-5G across government, enterprise, and education clients nationwide.
