No. It has dual 4FF SIM slots, but the SIM is not included, and no AC power supply is included. It runs from a 9–36 VDC vehicle or cabinet supply through its Molex Micro-Fit cable, or from 802.3at PoE.
Yes. It can be deployed as a captive modem for supported Cradlepoint controlling routers. NetCloud Manager then treats it as an internal modem and manages both units as a single entity, with no separate licence. For select controlling routers, it can also act as an additional Wi-Fi source.
For the full 5-year term, it covers NetCloud Manager device management and software updates. It also includes 24x7 support (phone 24 hours on weekdays with weekend emergency response, web 24x7, chat 24x5), access to Enterprise Wireless University, and a limited lifetime hardware warranty while the subscription is active.
Coverage and location mapping is a feature of the NetCloud Advanced Mobile Performance service. An Advanced licence can be added at any time to the Essentials plan.
The housing is rated IP67 and IK09, with IEC60068-2-11 salt-mist corrosion resistance and MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration ratings. It operates from -30 °C to 70 °C and carries E-Mark and SAE J1455 Category 2 vehicle certifications.
