The W2005 Series adapters can be paired with a Ericsson Cradlepoint router in “captive modem mode” to provide virtual single-endpoint deployment, monitoring, and control. Or, the adapters can connect to a third-party router via an Ethernet connection.

Key features include:

• 5G tools and value confirmation built into the NetCloud Platform
• Mobile wizard-based installation application for optimal set up and signal acquisition
• Dual Connectivity: Simultaneous 5G and 4G network connections
• “Captive modem mode” for singular router/adapter control and management
• Deep wireless analytics assisted by machine learning
• Carrier-class connectivity with multiple levels of test and recovery
• Adaptive to any networking and SD-WAN environment
• Zero-touch deployment and Day-1 broadband without on-site IT staff
• Advanced Remote Management suite

High performance wideband

The W2005-5GB 5G Wideband Adapter is purpose-built for outdoor deployment in the coverage and capacity spectrum layers. To address the tradeoff of lower propagation in the capacity layer, Ericsson Cradlepoint designed the W2005-5GB to be placed on the outside of buildings for optimal signal reception.

Designed for enterprise-class business

While the performance of 5G is top of mind, the W-Series was also designed with enterprise-class standards for high scalability, comprehensive management, and security. Because 5G is a collection of new spectrum, new technologies, and new network infrastructure that is rolling out over several years, the Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G edge networking service and endpoints accommodate the diverse deployments of an organization with hundreds or even tens of thousands of sites.
