Reliable connectivity can mean the difference between life and death in the high-stakes world of emergency services. Cradlepoint is a leading provider of cutting-edge network solutions, dedicated to delivering superior connectivity, performance and security. We understand the critical nature of emergency response operations, where every second counts and we’re aware of the challenges faced by EMS, firefighters and police. With our state-of-the-art routers, including the R1900 and R2100, we empower them with reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity, enabling them to respond swiftly and efficiently in the face of adversity.
Cradlepoint’s R2100 and R1900 routers provide unparalleled connectivity and performance for emergency services. Our routers are designed to give emergency responders the tools they need, whether it’s optimising in-vehicle networks, providing lightning-fast speeds, or ensuring reliable communication in critical situations. With ruggedised design, cutting-edge functionality and simple integration, Cradlepoint’s routers help emergency services save lives by staying connected when it matters most.
Unleashing connectivity and flexibility with the R2100 Router
The R2100 Series 5G Ruggedised Router revolutionises connection for first responders. This router-on-the-roof system, intended for EMS, police, fire and mass transit vehicles, offers outstanding cellular performance in a flexible and rugged form factor. By integrating the modem, antennas and router into a single casing, the R2100 simplifies installation while maximising reliability.
The R2100 provides seamless connectivity as a standalone router or as a 5G adaptor to enhance existing infrastructure. Powered by Cradlepoint NetCloud, it ensures secure access to cloud and internet services with enterprise-class unified edge security. With features like Zero Trust Network Access and 5G Optimised SD-WAN, the R2100 provides robust connectivity and enhances data security.
With Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Mobile Performance or NetCloud Ruggedised IoT Packages, the R2100 brings comprehensive connectivity, network management, security and location services to emergency service vehicles. IT teams gain centralised management capabilities, streamlining deployments and offering greater control over routers via a single interface. Advanced Mobile Performance equips departments with security, threat management, AVL features, analytics and advanced GNSS/GPS functionality.
Ruggedised performance with the R1900 Router
Cradlepoint’s R1900 router is a crucial asset for emergency services. This ruggedised router ensured optimal performance in the harshest of environments. With gigabit LTE and second-generation 5G architecture, it delivers lightning-fast speeds of up to 1Gbps. Front-line responders gain unparalleled access to critical data, support for pop-up sites and efficient fleet management.
The dual-SIM feature enables seamless connectivity through multiple cellular networks. Mission-critical information is securely sent over the future of emergency services network (ESN), whereas non-critical data can be shared through alternative networks. With precision GPS, dead-reckoning, and OBD-II integration, dispatchers can track and manage vehicle locations in real-time, ensuring efficient resource allocation and streamlined operations. It automatically uploads location and telematics data to NetCloud Manager and back-office applications, such as fleet management and computer-aided dispatch (CAD). By using location-based services within NetCloud Manager, admins can easily track and trace vehicle locations and routes in real time and determine LTE and 5G cellular coverage over a travelled area.
Thanks to cellular intelligence and Cradlepoint’s NetCloud service, deploying and managing the R1900 can happen quicker and easier and enables IT teams to have greater insight and control of routers once they have already been installed from a single pane of glass.
Cradlepoint’s routers have already been deployed with great success with 16 fire and rescue services across the UK, including Norfolk Fire & Rescue, where it has helped bring more visibility to their networks and greater control in responding to the frequent network drops and latency issues that are a common occurrence in rural areas, whilst still providing mission-critical communications.
