NOTE: If you already have the latest firmware, Cradlepoint has actually removed the "Update Firmware" button from the local control panel user interface since future updates will be exclusively via NetCloud. If you have any existing Cradlepoint hardware that is not currently covered by NetCloud - be sure to get it updated to the latest firmware by the end of June 2019! We've been told that "at the end of this month" Cradlepoint will be removing all firmware upgrade ability outside of NetCloud subscription, and all firmware updates will only be possible via the NetCloud Manager. "Any endpoints that are not licensed by an active subscription or are running software that is outside of the EOL policy will eventually experience a downgrade in functionality that may result in a network impact." Even the most critical security updates will be reserved for subscribers only.Ĭradlepoint warns that a "new automated license verification" system is going in place, and:
In particular - beginning next month, Cradlepoint will only provide software updates to customers who have an active subscription to Cradlepoint's NetCloud remote management system. Rather than selling hardware, Cradlepoint is "evolving" to offer "products as a service" - and new clarifications in Cradlepoint's support policies make it clear that maintaining an ongoing paid subscription to Cradlepoint's NetCloud service should now be considered mandatory for all Cradlepoint customers. Mobile router manufacturer Cradlepoint has an excellent reputation for building quality hardware that appeals to mobile users with demanding needs, and Cradlepoint has been the leader in bringing gigabit LTE technology to cellular-integrated routers.Ĭradlepoint inarguably makes great hardware, and the COR IBR900 has been a top pick ( our review) since it came out.īut Cradlepoint doesn't want to sell hardware anymore.
The Cradlepoint COR IBR900 has offers a lot of capabilities for the most demanding mobile installations.
