A Simple Yet Powerful Solution
The CradlePoint CBA250 Cellular Broadband Adapter provides IP Pass-Through capabilities for a LAN device requiring wireless broadband access*. For most applications, simply connect the CBA250, turn the unit on and it’s ready to go. The CBA250 handles the connection without configuration and provides enhanced network connectivity with support for 3G/4G USB and ExpressCard modems running on EVDO and HSPA. Adding a wireless back-up or even primary connection has never been easier.
Fully Reliable and Convenient
As a high-performance adapter The CBA250 supports multiple and concurrent application streams for the attached LAN device converting Ethernet to cellular and cellular to Ethernet. This flexible connectivity solution is platform independent, features two operating modes (configuration and IP-Pass through) and an “always-on” signal strength meter to determine the best cellular reception for optimum placement. The CBA250 is truly a “drop-in” solution for adding cellular wireless broadband capability.
