Overview

The Ericsson Cradlepoint R920 is a ruggedized metal LTE router for vehicles and IoT (Internet of Things) sites, built around an embedded LTE Category 7 modem with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth.[1][2] It has no embedded 5G modem: 5G or a second LTE link comes from the optional RX20 managed accessory, which adds a modular modem slot and a serial port.[1][2] Only the North American model (R920-C7A) lists CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Band 48 for private networks; the rest-of-world model (R920-C7B) does not.[2]

What’s included

  • With NetCloud Mobile packages: a 3 m GPIO cable and a mounting template; Mobile packages ship without an AC power supply or antennas[2]
  • With NetCloud Ruggedized IoT packages: two cellular antennas, two Wi-Fi antennas and a 12 V power supply[2]

Public pricing

  • Ericsson does not publish a list price on its product page or data sheet; the R920 is ordered as hardware bundled with a NetCloud subscription in 1-, 3- or 5-year terms (checked October 1, 2026).[1][2]
  • Waveform, operated by the team behind Private5G.com, lists the R920 under part number MA03-0920-C7B-GA at $1,245.00 as of October 1, 2026.[5] In Ericsson's ordering guide, MA0x-0920-C7B-GA part numbers are the rest-of-world model without Band 48, while the US and Canada model is MA0x-0920-C7A-NA, so confirm the variant before ordering for a CBRS network.[2]
