Extending the Cradlepoint R Series family, the new R920 is a fully ruggedised LTE solution which is highly versatile and ideal for a wide range of use cases.

The Cradlepoint R920 is ideal for vehicle and IoT applications offering NetCloud service plans for both:

For in-vehicle networking it’s ideal for public transport and emergency services, as well as supporting field service fleets. With the mobile performance plan, organisations gain a full suite of security and AVL capabilities including threat management, web filtering, application visibility, analytics, and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality with location tracking and cellular coverage maps. This allows IT teams to ensure that enterprise policies can be fully extended to the road.

In IoT its ruggedised housing makes it suitable for nearly any environment, allowing organisations to deliver secure, flexible connectivity that allows them to manage and monitor their high value IoT assets. For example this could include kiosks, building automation, oil and gas, utility, and smart city infrastructure deployments. It is also highly extensible with APIs, SDKs and integrations into IoT platforms, while its generous onboard memory supports local containers or edge computing.
