The Ericsson Cradlepoint W1850 is an indoor 5G wideband adapter that adds primary or failover 5G connectivity to any fixed installation — without replacing the existing router or network infrastructure. It functions as a dedicated cellular modem, delivering 5G signal to your network via Ethernet while the router handles routing and security. Peak downlink throughput of 4.1 Gbps (5G NSA) makes the W1850 capable of carrying the full bandwidth load of a busy branch or government facility. Four external SMA antenna connectors allow the antenna to be positioned separately from the adapter — which matters when you need the modem inside a cabinet but the antenna on a wall or ceiling for optimal signal. Dual SIM with automatic carrier selection ensures continuity if one carrier experiences an outage. Pairs with Cradlepoint routers for full SD-WAN integration. For facilities that want to add 5G without a full router replacement — as a primary connection or a failover layer — the W1850 is the purpose-built solution. Available on GSA Schedule.
