Key Software Capabilities

Cradlepoint NetCloud Service for the IBR900 provides everything needed to unlock the power of LTE and connect vehicles, users, and IoT to
critical applications and services. The available NetCloud IoT or Mobile service plans include the appropriate router software with powerful
cloud management features for managing IoT at scale, or mobile-specific features like coverage maps, and application aware analytics.
Everything within NetCloud works together, making it easy to deploy, connect, and secure edge applications at scale across the organization.

Router Services
Next generation hardware provides local processing power to handle demanding
router-delivered services, such as support for VPN tunneling encryption including
DMVPN, IPsec, GRE, and other tunneling technologies.

Security Services
NetCloud Service includes security features and options to optimize the IBR900 to
meet the evolving security needs of mobile and IoT environments. The service includes
stateful zone-based firewall with the ability to add application aware security policies
with the Advanced Mobile service plan.

Connection Manager
Connection Manager provides the ability to manage all WAN connections types
including wireless, Wi-Fi as WAN, and wired, from a single software-defined
policy. Our custom-built modem software ensures users establish Wireless WAN
connectivity faster while maintaining the highest level of resiliency.

Cloud Services
NetCloud Manager delivers true zero-touch deployment with the ability to define and
deliver policy across entire groups of endpoints. Users can create a cloud-orchestrated
hub and spoke VPN network and gain insights and analytics required for rapid
troubleshooting and diagnostic workflows. Support operations with real time location
services and vehicle information.
