Cradlepoint CTR500 Cellular Travel Router |
| Internet connection from anywhere from within your wireless broadband network |
How it Works:
Connect a data-ready cellular phone into the
USB host port, and the CTR500 automatically
establishes a connection to your cellular
provider's data network. It works similar to the
way a home router manages a DSL or Cable
modem—connect and forget. Once you plug
in a Cellular USB modem or a Handset
equipped with a phone-as-modem tethered
data plan, you can associate your PC with the
CTR500 just like in a Café Hotspot and you're
on the Internet. You can optionally use the RJ-
45 Ethernet port with a wired LAN to give you
easy shared wireless access when available.

Portable and Compact
The CradlePoint CTR500 Cellular Travel
Router creates a secure Wi-Fi Hotspot from
broadband enabled cellular data modems.
The CTR500 is the world's most compact
router that is able to support BOTH Express
Card and USB-style Cellular Modems.
Powered by CradlePoint's WiPipe™
technology, it supports a wide variety of
modems and handsets on the ATT, Verizon,
Sprint, and Alltel networks and gives users
hassle-free Wi-Fi access nearly anywhere.
Secure and Reliable
The high-performance router platform
supports multiple and concurrent VPN pass-
through sessions, plus encryption modes
including WPA2 Personal and Enterprise to
provide secure client access. Unique built-in
auto-failover between broadband sources
enables wireless backup applications and
maximum uptime.
Simple
CradlePoint's built-in Setup Wizard provides
diskless set up of security settings - getting a
remote workgroup up and running quickly
regardless of OS or device-type on the
network. For site selection and placement
convenience, the CTR500 also includes a
signal strength mode, which enables external
LED indication of cellular signal strength.
