Cradlepoint MBR800 Mobile Broadband Router

The MBR800 from Cradlepoint, can manage two USB and one Express modem, plus has a standard ethernet WAN input and four ethernet LAN outputs.  

1- The user experience with devices running Windows Mobile is less robust than other phones and modems. Windows Mobile devices connected to either a PC or a CradlePoint router have exhibited erratic behavior while using data sharing capabilities. Issues include frequent disconnects for no apparent reason and remedies entail frequent rebooting the phone and or removing the phone's battery. This problem is not something that can be resolved by CradlePoint Technology and will need to be addressed by the phone manufacturer. Please refer to our release notes.   2 - These modems can take up to 2.5 minutes to make a data connection. In our tests, they appear to spend a long time attempting to get a signal before they can make a data connection. The Ultra seems to connect more quickly in our tests. Note that the the Ultra Express' performance in the router is not as good as in the PC. This modem works with the router, but if you have a choice any of the other GSM modems such as the Novatel or Sierra Wireless are more compatible.   3 - Contact us for special firmware recommendations for Clear and Xohm (4G) areas.

Always Connected

The MBR800 is a cost effective broadband router with 3G failover for built-in redundancy. This router is designed to keep businesses, which do not require WiFi, running in the event of a primary ISP failure. When the MBR800 senses a disruption in service it automatically switches from a wired to a 3G network.* Once service is restored, the MBR800 automatically fails back to your primary ISP keeping your business online without interruption to users.
In primary connect-type applications, such as kiosks or POS systems, the MBR800 still provides failover capabilities through its multiple modem ports and allows users to share a 3G  connection** without any additional software to load or hardware to configure.

Enterprise Power, Simple Solution

Powered by WiPipe™ technology, the MBR800 includes many features found in expensive, enterprise-class routers at a fraction of the cost. Features like load balancing, SNMP management and failover from wired-to-3G make the MBR800 a powerful solution that is simple to deploy.

Secure and Reliable

The high-performance MBR800 comes standard with top security features like multiple concurrent VPN pass-through sessions and a firewall preventing unauthorized use of your connection.  Now you can confidently and securely access the Internet and share your WAN connection.
