New Cradlepoint R 2100 router for the car roof
Digital signage as well as IoT installations become future-proof with 5G and the new Cradlepoint R2100. The new router from market leader Cradlepoint is made for mounting on the roof of vehicles and can radio in the midband range of 5G. This makes the new router perfect for applications that require a lot of data. The areas of public safety, mass transit and IoT are served by it.
It also makes it easier for firefighters and police to transmit video data. The R2100 router does not need any antennas in the outdoor area, so there are no cables.
