The Ericsson Cradlepoint R2400 and extensible RC1250 modem are designed for vehicles and mobile field teams, combining ultra-fast failover, precise location services, and edge computing.
Ideal for commercial users like first responders, transit operators, and private fleets, the R2400 is compatible with public safety networks and new network slicing services. It leverages the latest in 5G standalone Release 17 technology to support new capabilities across public safety, mass transit, and private fleet networks.
The industry-first dual‑SIM/dual standby (DSDS) on a single modem enables carrier switchover that’s roughly 10 times faster than previous approaches, keeping voice, video, and data flowing during critical missions and transit routes. Real‑Time Kinematics (RTK) combined with dead‑reckoning improves positioning from one-to-three metres to less than a centimetre, enabling lane‑level vehicle identification and precise real-time tracking of personnel, assets, and drones.
Get support for up to five simultaneous cellular plus multiple low‑Earth‑orbit (LEO) satellite connections to maximize throughput and availability, even in rural or low‑coverage areas. An embedded 4×4 software defined Wi‑Fi 7 access point delivers approximately two-to-four-times faster Wi‑Fi speeds for passenger and operational communications across mass transit and public safety.
As first responders and mass-transit agencies adopt AI, real-time monitoring, and autonomous vehicles/drones, reliable, scalable in-vehicle connectivity is becoming critical, says Ericsson. Paired with the extensible RC1250 modem, the R2400 delivers pay-as-you-grow WAN capacity for applications like live video streaming, while providing on-board local AI inferencing.
Users can enjoy expanded edge compute with 2.5 times more on‑device compute to support local AI inferencing, computer vision, and enhanced performance for containerized applications for accelerating actionable insights on scene. There also faster security processing with two-times more throughput to support NetCloud SASE’s zero-trust security and SD-WAN services to provide a secure and optimized WAN network across fleets, sites, and critical assets.
The unique extensible architecture allows organizations to add or upgrade 5G modems as carrier technology evolves, without replacing the router. In addition to providing centralized visibility to every vehicle and its location, NetCloud offers an agentic AI virtual expert optimized for enterprise 5G networking to help improve the productivity of lean IT teams. AIOps dashboards help pinpoint anomalies before impacting service.
The Ericsson Cradlepoint R2400 router and RC1250 captive modem accessory will be available in Q2 2026.
