Ericsson Cradlepoint IBR1700

2024 - 11 - 15

Ericsson NetCloud Service for mobile with an IBR1700 ruggedized router is a Gigabit-class LTE networking platform designed to provide persistent connectivity for in-vehicle deployments. Ericsson NetCloud provides connectivity, network, security, and location services to connect everything in the vehicle, while providing access to IT for remote management, troubleshooting, and analytics.

High Performance In-Vehicle Connectivity

The Ericsson Cradlepoint IBR1700 ruggedized router for vehicles with the Ericsson NetCloud Service for mobile was designed for organizations that depend on field forces and mobile networks. In addition to embedded Gigabit-class LTE, it also includes tri-radio Wi-Fi allowing dedicated radios for video offload, enhanced security, better signal quality, and higher client capacities. Ericsson NetCloud mobile advanced features add threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality including location tracking and cellular coverage maps to the service.

5G Ready for Upward Compatibility

The IBR1700 ruggedized router for in-vehicle uses is 5G-ready with the ability to be field upgraded and accept a future generation modular 5G modem. In addition, it can act as a controller for an Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G wideband adapter. The unique capability of Ericsson to operate the adapter in captive mode allows two separate, Ethernet-connected appliances to be managed as a single entity. These two capabilities ensure investment protection and upward compatibility to the latest LTE and 5G technology as they evolve over time.

Key Software Capabilities

Ericsson NetCloud Service for mobile with a IBR1700 in-vehicle router provides everything needed to unlock the power of cellular technology to connect vehicles, users, and IoT to critical applications and services. Ericsson NetCloud includes router software for optimizing routing, VPN, SD-WAN, and security capabilities along with capabilities centralized in the cloud such as group policy definition, reports, troubleshooting, and analytics dashboards as well as cellular coverage maps. Ericsson NetCloud Service includes a warranty (for the router), online training, live and online support, and continuous software updates for both the router and the modem.

Coverage Map

 

Ericsson NetCloud uses GNSS/GPS and 5G/4G cellular health to provide precise analytics about location and signal strength. Data can be mapped to display both the current and historical locations of a vehicle, as well as generate detailed coverage maps that display cellular health, allowing users to gain operational insights and solve problems.

Advanced Software Lifecycle Management

 

Ericsson NetCloud improves the typical software lifecycle management process. New features are continuously delivered to Ericsson NetCloud and become available for the router without interrupting network performance. Software versions are tracked for every endpoint, with the latest update just a click away. Straightforward subscription and license management is easily accessible and provided to keep the network running without interruption.

Security Services

 

Ericsson NetCloud Service advanced security features add application aware zone-based firewall, CP Secure Threat Management (IPS/IDS), and CP Secure Web Filter for protecting your network and meeting the evolving security needs of in-vehicle environments.

Connection Manager

 

Connection Manager provides the ability to manage all WAN connections types including wireless, Wi-Fi as WAN, and wired, from a single software-defined policy. Our custom-built modem software ensures users establish wireless WAN connectivity faster while maintaining the highest level of resiliency.
