It is a Cradlepoint Trade Up package: an R980 router with Wi-Fi, a 5G modem, dual 4FF SIM slots and embedded eSIM, plus a 6-year NetCloud Mobile Essentials plan. It does not include an AC power supply or antennas.
The manufacturer lists it for the U.S., Australia, Canada, the European Union, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
The R980 has MFF2 eSIM hardware that supports up to eight carrier profiles. Cradlepoint states that over-the-air eSIM carrier switching will be functional with future NetCloud OS releases. The two physical 4FF SIM slots work alongside it.
Slicing lets the router segment and isolate applications or devices and prioritize traffic on supported 5G networks. The R980 supports up to four DNN/PDN instances and is certified for Verizon Frontline Network Slice.
Yes. A NetCloud Mobile Advanced plan can be added to the Essentials package at any time.
