The Cradlepoint AER2200 router was designed exactly for that purpose. Built for small to mid-sized business branches, it delivers enterprise-grade performance through a combination of Gigabit-Class LTE, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, and cloud management.
As one of Australia’s trusted Cradlepoint partners, Exceed ICT provides businesses with advanced Wireless WAN (WWAN) solutions that extend connectivity beyond the limits of fixed broadband – offering agility, uptime, and control.
Overview of the Cradlepoint AER2200
The Cradlepoint Router Aer2200 is a cloud-managed, all-in-one branch router that integrates wired and wireless connectivity into a single device. It simplifies branch networking by combining routing, LTE connectivity, Wi-Fi, and security into one platform.
Designed for distributed and remote sites, this router helps organisations consolidate network infrastructure, reduce IT complexity, and ensure high availability. Through Cradlepoint’s NetCloud service, administrators can deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot networks remotely, ensuring branches stay connected – anywhere, anytime.
Key Features and Capabilities
Cloud Management with NetCloud
The AER2200 leverages Cradlepoint’s NetCloud platform, providing a single, cloud-based interface to configure, monitor, and manage your entire network fleet. With zero-touch provisioning and remote diagnostics, you can bring new sites online in minutes, not days.
High-Speed Connectivity
Equipped with embedded Gigabit-Class LTE and dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), the AER2200 ensures reliable, high-speed data for dozens of connected devices – even when wired internet isn’t available.
Foundational SD-WAN
The router features Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) technology to intelligently route traffic across multiple WAN links, ensuring optimal application performance and bandwidth utilisation.
Robust Security
Cradlepoint includes advanced security options such as VPN support, unified edge security, and centralised policy enforcement. Businesses can protect sensitive data and users while maintaining compliance with Australian privacy and cybersecurity standards.
Flexible Hardware and Ports
The Cradlepoint Router Aer2200 includes a 10 GbE port (switchable LAN/WAN), USB, and serial interfaces. Four Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports allow you to power access points, IP cameras, or VoIP phones directly from the router.
Dual-Modem Capability
With a built-in LTE modem and an expansion slot for an optional second modem (MC400), the Cradlepoint Router Aer2200 supports failover and load balancing, guaranteeing seamless internet continuity.
Expandability & Certification
Developers can extend capabilities through the Router SDK and NetCloud Manager API. The device is PTCRB- and GCF-certified and FirstNet Trusted, making it suitable for public safety applications.
