The Ericsson Cradlepoint R920 is a ruggedized LTE networking platform built for vehicles and IoT deployments. This part number, TCA3-0920-C7A-NN, is the North America (U.S. and Canada) configuration: a Cat 7 LTE router with Wi-Fi, an AC power supply and antennas. It comes with a 3-year NetCloud Ruggedized IoT Essentials + Advanced subscription, which covers NetCloud Manager device management, software updates and support for the full term. The embedded Cat 7 LTE modem uses 2 carrier aggregation to reach 300 Mbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink. It has dual 4FF SIM slots with SIM-based auto-carrier selection and supports CBRS Band 48 for private cellular networks. The data sheet lists AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon operator certifications, plus FirstNet Trusted, T-Mobile Connecting Heroes and Verizon Frontline for public safety. On the local side, the R920 has 2x2 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, two LAN/WAN-switchable Gigabit Ethernet ports, a screw-lock USB 2.0 port, GPIO and embedded Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1. The active GNSS receiver tracks GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS for location and coverage mapping. The optional RX20 Managed Accessory adds a second LTE or 5G modem and a serial port. The hardware is built for vehicles and industrial sites. It takes a 9–36 VDC input with ignition sensing and is rated IP64. Certifications include E-Mark, SAE J1455, EN 61373 rail, MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration, and Class I Div 2 hazardous locations. The stateful firewall and IPS both run at 940 Mbps, with up to 20 concurrent VPN tunnels. A dual-core ARMv8 processor runs Docker containerized applications at the edge. Essentials packages include 24x7 support and a limited lifetime warranty that remains in effect while the router has an active NetCloud subscription.
