The Ericsson Cradlepoint S400 is a cloud managed, semi-ruggedized secure appliance and router for IoT networks. Offering connectivity through LTE plus wired and Wi-Fi options, the S400 is designed for light industrial, digital signage, and kiosk use cases. The S400 includes an Ericsson NetCloud Service Plan Secure IoT license, which provides management at scale, group policies, configurations and troubleshooting, plus connect and go zero trust security.
When coupled with the Ericsson NetCloud Secure IoT service plan, the S400 provides a compact, semi-ruggedized Cat 6 4G LTE router and security solution for connecting IoT devices at scale. With an IP30-rated housing built to withstand vibration and temperature extremes and designed for mounting on DIN rails, the S400 is ideal for use in light industrial applications such as SCADA, remote monitoring, smart city intelligent traffic control or in applications such as surveillance cameras, digital signs, and control sensors. With an extensive list of features, it can be confidently deployed in the field, in buildings, or in embedded systems to deliver complete visibility, security, and control of connected devices anywhere.
For organizations requiring robust connectivity for IoT networks — with installed networking endpoints numbering from a handful to many thousands — Ericsson’s NetCloud Secure Services for IoT with the S400 provides a comprehensive cloud managed network solution with NetCloud SASE Secure Connect included. With this zero-trust security, any IoT device connected to the S400 is immediately hidden from public scans and from devices connected to other routers. Access policies are easily defined so IoT devices communicate only with their authorized resources on a least-privilege basis. Ericsson’s NetCloud-managed IoT endpoints can be rapidly deployed and easily scaled to accommodate the diverse requirements of organizations.
Notice: All specifications subject to change without notice.
NetCloud Secure Service for IoT includes the appropriate S400 software with powerful cloud management features for managing IoT at scale. The NetCloud Service includes cloud-based management for optimizing routing, zero trust connections, visibility dashboards and troubleshooting capabilities. The cloud capabilities include defining and applying policies, at-a-glance status insights, reports, and analytics dashboards. The service includes a warranty for as long as there is an active Secure IoT Essentials or Secure Essentials + Advanced subscription on the router, online training, live and online support, and all software and firmware updates.
Cradlepoint zero trust security networking, delivered through Secure Connect, protects the Ericsson Cradlepoint IoT routers and any connected devices through connect-and-go ease. IoT or other devices simply connect to the router with encrypted tunnels to build micro-segmented networks that are instantly hidden from internal and external sites. Access policies are easily defined to enable IoT devices to communicate only with their authorized resources or applications and nothing else. The simple and secure zero trust access, delivered through Zero Trust Network Access, also delivers authorized contractors and third parties secure remote access to IoT devices on the WAN for remote monitoring and maintenance.
NetCloud Service and the S400 Series Router can access network data that third-party applications need to provide higher levels of insights and control. Leverage pre-built connections to partner applications or create custom connections across a variety of use cases using the NetCloud SDK or NetCloud API.
NetCloud Manager delivers true, zero-touch deployment with the ability to define and deliver policy across entire groups of endpoints. Users can create cloud-orchestrated zero trust networks and gain insights and analytics required for rapid troubleshooting and diagnostic workflows.
The following features are delivered through the hardware.
