E100 Series
Enterprise Router

2024 - 03 - 13

The E100 Series Enterprise Router provides small footprint locations with the same networking, optimization, security, and ease of management that supports larger locations. The all-in-one endpoint includes full-featured routing, switching, and Wi-Fi, making it easy to connect and maintain connectivity to the Internet for supporting crucial business applications. Additional capabilities for Zero Trust security and SD-WAN are available through NetCloud Exchange to provide confidence in connecting and securing peripheral devices such as IoT and point of sale (PoS).  The embedded 5G or LTE modem means that reliable, connectivity is always available from day one without waiting for a wired connection. 

 

Ideal for Small Branch Wireless WAN

 

For organizations requiring a Wireless WAN in small offices, the E100 offers the ability to pair 5G or LTE with a wired link and use a cellular link as a failover connection, hybrid WAN or a primary connection. The E100 combines this reliable routing with integrated switching and Wi-Fi to securely connect local devices for an all-in-one network. Combined with the scalable NetCloud, which makes managing cellular networks intuitive and insightful.

 

5G, SD-WAN, and Security Integration 

 

The E100 router adds a 5G modem with the latest 5G standards to offer agile and reliable connections on an essential WAN infrastructure. Cellular intelligence and NCX SD-WAN make it easy to deploy 5G-enabled networks while optimizing both cellular and wired traffic to enhance application performance. Security postures can be reinforced, and attack surfaces minimized with zero trust privileged access, protected IP addresses, detailed security policies and consolidated authentication usage. 

Additionally, the E100 router can serve as the user equipment router for private cellular networks that provide reliable local area network connectivity where wireless LAN fails to meet the network needs due to large areas or excessive congestion.

Notable Benefits

  • Connect to the internet or applications anywhere with all-wireless 5G using the latest standards or LTE connectivity.
  • Open small offices, pop-ups and temporary locations without compromising security or reliability with a secure all-in-one design and compact form factor.
  • Maximize uptime with both onboard failover from wired to wireless as well as optional battery backup in case of a power failure.
  • Gain confidence in deploying communications, IoT and point of sale (POS) devices in small offices - much like what’s expected in larger offices with 5G SASE.
  • Reduce network attack surface, build encrypted tunnels, and incorporate zero trust principles with NCX Secure Connect and NCX ZTNA.
  • Define policies through centralized, cloud-based management for easy deployment at scale.
  • Use zero-touch deployment with pre-configured router and pre-inserted SIM to speed installation.

Key Software Capabilities

Cradlepoint NetCloud Service for Small Branch provides everything needed to connect the small offices to corporate applications and services from virtually any location. The NetCloud Service includes cloud-based management for optimizing routing, VPN, traffic steering, and security capabilities. The cloud capabilities include defining and applying policies, at-a-glance status insights, reports, troubleshooting, and analytics dashboards. The service includes a warranty for as long as there is an active subscription on the router, online training, live and online support, and all software and firmware updates.

Deployment Capabilities

Zero-touch deployment features allow pre-configured and pre-activated equipment to arrive on location, so an employee can power up an E100 Series Router, locate the best cellular connection path, and instantly setup the pre-established office parameters through the NetCloud Service, upon authentication.

Security Services

NetCloud Service includes integrated security features to optimize an E100 Series Router to scale to the security needs of distributed environments. The service includes stateful zone-based and application-aware firewall, IDS/IPS, and authenticated wireless connection that is fully isolated from the surrounding networks.
