Be ready for what’s next, without interruptions

Your branch is connected. Is it well connected?

A robust branch wide area network needs a mix of wired, cellular, and low earth orbit (LEO) connections. But buildings can work against wireless signals. To get maximum performance, you need a device that can be deployed wherever signal quality is strongest — inside or outside.

When cellular conditions degrade, failover to a secondary carrier takes time. The right solution keeps your backup carrier on standby, enabling switchover up to 10x faster. In a transaction-dependent environment, every minute of downtime costs.

The W2255 adapter connects to the strongest signal available and adapts when carrier conditions change so your enterprise branches can skip the disruptions.

Introducing the Ericsson Cradlepoint W2255

One model. Indoor or outdoor. Built to find the strongest signal and hold it. No specialized staff or complex configuration required. The W2255 is the first enterprise 5G adapter designed for how branches actually operate: dynamic network conditions, high-stakes transactions, and zero tolerance for downtime.

Designed to go where you need it

A single-model built for either indoor or outdoor installations with an IP67 rating and high-performance integrated antenna. Use the same W2255 wherever you need it, with far simpler deployments..

10x faster carrier failover for uninterrupted communications

Dual SIM/Dual Standby keeps a backup carrier connection latched and ready at all times. When primary signal degrades, the W2255 switches between carriers up to 10x faster, before the impact reaches your operations.

Find the best carrier automatically

Carrier Selection Intelligence runs speed tests at first boot, evaluating all available carriers and selecting the strongest signal at that location. No site surveys. No specialized staff required.

Prioritize the applications that can’t wait

5G SA network slicing separates business-critical traffic from everything else. Point-of-sale stays on a dedicated, carrier-backed connection while guest Wi-Fi routes separately, with no competition for the same resources.

One device for cellular and satellite

When wireless WAN diversity is required, the W2255 can integrate LEO satellite connectivity from the same device, with full visibility and control through Ericsson NetCloud.

Remote troubleshooting

Troubleshoot third-party routers and LAN-connected devices remotely — even during a primary network outage. Secure access through Ericsson NetCloud means there’s no need to open firewall ports or create special firewall exceptions.
