The router, specially developed for mobile working, uses LTE cellular connectivity and meets international certifications and standards. The device features a fast, next-generation LTE cellular modem (CAT7), which, compared to previous generations of modems, doubles the download speed for more performance and triples the upload speed to support broadband-hungry applications such as video conferencing.
Double the performance, triple the upload
The router offers a scalable, easy-to-manage solution that can be expanded to include thousands of remote workers in any location. New users can be managed with little to no additional staff. The IT department has complete control over security, availability and management, as well as device access and traffic usage. The router takes network standards and interoperability into account so that it can be easily integrated into existing networks.
Dedicated wireless WAN connection

The dedicated, resilient LTE connection prevents resource and bandwidth competition with other devices in the home network and thus prevents performance problems. In addition, using a dedicated WAN and WiFi network isolates work equipment such as laptops and printers to meet security and compliance guidelines. Companies can comply with company-wide security standards by extending them to all networked company resources and providing employees with the same IT functions and the same end-user experience as in the office network.
Cradlepoint NetCloud implements and controls security guidelines via the router so that the end users are no longer responsible for the VPN connections. Flexible options support various office, cloud access and security models, including an enterprise VPN extension, direct internet access, or a mixture of both. In addition, companies can guarantee cost-efficient IT support for employees working from home.
Cloud-based management platform
The Cradlepoint E102 Enterprise Router offers simple, IT-centric management that enables monitoring, control and troubleshooting of employees' home wireless edge routers via the cloud-based management platform NetCloud Manager. Policies can also be set to support traffic shaping and better performance for applications. Zero-touch provision also makes installation easier, as preconfigured routers with already activated SIM cards can be delivered to your home for easy set-up.
