Product Overview

The Ericsson Cradlepoint R1900 is the ruggedized 5G router built for environments where connectivity failure is not an option. Designed from the ground up for in-vehicle and mobile deployments, it handles the vibration, temperature extremes, and constant motion that come with fleet operations, emergency response, and mobile command centers — without compromising performance.

At its core, the R1900 runs 5G NR (NSA/SA) with 4x4 MIMO and LTE Cat-19 fallback, delivering fast, resilient connectivity whether a vehicle is moving at highway speed or stationary at an incident scene. The operating range of -20C to 60C means it performs in conditions that would kill a standard router. Dual SIM support with automatic carrier selection keeps the connection active even when one carrier has coverage issues.

The R1900 is FirstNet Trusted — certified for public safety use and eligible for priority network access when first responders need it most. It integrates with Ericsson NetCloud Manager for centralized monitoring and management across a fleet of any size. For agencies procuring through government channels, the R1900 is available via GSA Schedule and other cooperative contract vehicles.

If your team operates vehicles in the field and needs a network that keeps up with them, the R1900 is where you start. RCN Technologies deploys and supports it across all 50 states.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ericsson Cradlepoint R1900, and who is it designed for?
The Ericsson Cradlepoint R1900 is a 5G in-vehicle router purpose-built for mission-critical mobile deployments. It is designed for public safety agencies, emergency responders, law enforcement, and fleet operators who require reliable, high-performance cellular connectivity in the field. The R1900 delivers enterprise-grade security and manageability in a ruggedized form factor built to survive the demands of vehicle-based operations.
What cellular technologies and bands does the R1900 support?
The R1900 supports 5G Sub-6 GHz in both NSA (Non-Standalone) and SA (Standalone) modes, as well as LTE (Categories 18/12) for backward compatibility. Specific band support varies by model variant — US, FirstNet, and international configurations are available. Contact RCN Technologies for band support confirmation based on your carrier, region, and deployment requirements.
Is the R1900 FirstNet Trusted™ certified?
Yes. The Ericsson Cradlepoint R1900 is certified FirstNet Trusted™, confirming it meets AT&T's technical and security requirements for operation on the FirstNet network. This certification makes it a primary choice for public safety agencies and emergency responders who require priority and preemption access on AT&T's dedicated public safety broadband network.
What in-vehicle deployment options does the R1900 support?
The R1900 is purpose-built for in-vehicle use. It supports hardwire installation with ignition sense input for power management, optional external antenna connections for optimized cellular and GPS performance, and mounting bracket options for console or dash installations. The unit is rated for operation across a wide temperature range (need to verify exact range with Ericsson), making it suitable for vehicles deployed in extreme cold or heat environments.
How is the R1900 managed remotely?
The R1900 is fully managed via Ericsson NetCloud Manager, RCN's preferred cloud management platform. NetCloud provides centralized configuration, remote diagnostics, firmware updates, policy enforcement, and real-time visibility across your entire fleet or agency deployment — all from a single dashboard. RCN also offers optional NOC (Network Operations Center) support for proactive monitoring, alerting, and incident response.
Is the R1900 available through government purchasing contracts?
Yes. RCN Technologies is a GSA Schedule contractor, making the Ericsson Cradlepoint R1900 available for federal, state, and local government procurement under established contract vehicles. This simplifies the purchasing process for public sector agencies and eliminates the need for lengthy competitive bidding. Contact RCN for GSA pricing, contract details, and volume discount options.
