Cradlepoint CBR450 Compact Broadband Router
Firmware 3.4.0

The CradlePoint CBR450 is a highly-featured router designed for kiosk or other M2M applications that require local access through ethernet rather than Wi-Fi. The router supports internet access via 3G/4G mobile broadband networks as well as traditional wired networks such as DSL or Cable.

With its compact size, the CBR450 is ideal for use in small enclosures (ATM, kiosk, vehicle). With failover/failback capability, the CBR450 supports multiple combinations of wired or wireless internet. The router increases internet availability and business continuity by detecting network failures and automatically switching over to the other network(s).

The CBR450 provides secure and reliable VPN functionality, allowing users to create, manage and terminate an IPSec VPN session. It allows for secure access to central data centers from distributed locations.

Fast Facts about this Product:

Features:

Wireless Internet Access:

• Supports multiple combinations of Internet access, including 3G/4G wireless broadband as well as wired access (DSL/Cable)
• Supports most wireless data modems from the leading carriers (modem and service sold separately)

Device Connectivity:

• Ethernet LAN/WAN port for non-WiFi devices or landline internet
• WiFi not included to facilitate PCI and HIPPA Compliance

Security:

• SPI Firewall and NAT (Network Address Translation) to prevent unwanted access to connected computers
• Variety of security features (URL filtering, traffic filtering, DMZ, virtual server, port forwarding) for safer internet access.

Reliability:

• Modem Health Management (MHM) monitors connectivity of 3rd-party USB modems. MHM provides tiers of recovery mechanisms, starting with software resets and escalating to hardware reset and full power cycle of modem as necessary.

Flexibility:

• Supports pass-through VPN connections (IPSec, L2TP, PPTP) to enable laptops with a VPN client to connect through the router to corporate networks.
• Ethernet port can be configured to “WAN Mode” to create a WiFi hotspot from a wired internet connection
• Network Failover support . When a wired internet source (DSL, Cable Modem) is connected to the ethernet port, the CBR450 will automatically detect an internet outage and switch to the wireless 3G/4G internet.

Key features:

• Non-WiFi version facilitates applications that require PCI and HIPAA compliance, offering a solution to customers needing additional security or situations where WiFi is prohibited
• One Ethernet LAN port for the attached device
• Operation in either router or bridge mode
• “Bridge mode” in which the CBR450 can “pass through” the IP address provided by the 4G/3G wireless network directly to the attached device.
• Built-in VPN termination allows secure connectivity to private corporate networks
• “Router mode” which provides traditional networking functionality such as DHCP or statically-assigned IP address
