Overview

The Ericsson Cradlepoint E300 is a compact indoor branch router in an industrial plastic enclosure for pop-up sites, branches, stores and clinics; the E300-5GB model embeds a 5G modem, while other E300 models use LTE Category 18 or Category 7 modems.[1][2] It combines routing, firewall, Wi-Fi 6, five Gigabit Ethernet ports and an SFP+ port, and Ericsson says it can serve as the user-equipment router on a private cellular network.[2] The E300-5GB lists CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Band 48 under FCC Part 96.[2]
