The Ericsson Cradlepoint W2255 is an enterprise 5G adapter designed to deliver reliable Wireless WAN connectivity, resilient failover, and flexible deployment across indoor and outdoor environments. Built for enterprise-scale networks, it supports 5G Standalone performance, multi-WAN resiliency, and zero-touch deployment through Ericsson NetCloud, helping organisations maintain dependable connectivity for critical applications.
Featuring a 3GPP Release 17 modem, the W2255 delivers enhanced throughput and improved multi-user performance for demanding edge and fixed-site deployments. Dual SIM dual standby with SIM and eSIM support enables faster carrier failover while maintaining visibility of the standby network, helping reduce the risk of degraded handovers and connectivity disruption.
The W2255 is designed for deployment flexibility in a single model, with a sleek industrial design for indoor use and an IP67-rated enclosure for rugged outdoor installations. Built-in antennas support straightforward deployment, while four SMA ports allow external antennas to be connected for challenging signal environments.
Advanced 5G SA capabilities include support for network slicing and URSP, allowing critical traffic to be prioritised and separated from best-effort services. Integration with LEO satellite connectivity through NetCloud further strengthens multi-WAN resilience by enabling centralised visibility, telemetry, and automated failover beyond terrestrial coverage.
With secure out-of-band management, captive modem support, and compatibility with existing networking or SD-WAN environments, the W2255 provides a scalable 5G adapter solution for organisations that need predictable, resilient, and centrally managed wireless connectivity.
