The Cradlepoint AER1600 features 256 MB DRAM, 256 MB NAND Flash, and 16 MB SPI Flash memory, five Gigabit Ethernet ports, integrated LTE Advanced connectivity up to Category 6 speeds (300 Mbps down / 50 Mbps up), and dual-band 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi‑Fi with 2×2 MIMO supporting up to 128 devices, all housed in a compact 210 × 167 × 44 mm industrial-grade enclosure weighing just 0.58 kg. This certified refurbished router delivers enterprise-level performance with 940 Mbps firewall throughput, supports up to 20 concurrent IPsec VPN tunnels, and includes GPS functionality for location-based services, making it ideal for branch offices, retail locations, and temporary sites requiring reliable failover connectivity and cloud-managed networking.

Ideal Use Cases

The AER1600 excels in scenarios where network reliability is critical, including retail point-of-sale systems, branch office connectivity, and temporary event locations requiring rapid deployment. The integrated LTE modem provides automatic failover when primary connections fail, ensuring uninterrupted operations for mission-critical applications. Its cloud management capabilities make it particularly suitable for organisations managing multiple distributed locations that need centralised control and 24×7 monitoring.

Cloud Management Considerations

The AER1600 is designed to operate exclusively with NetCloud Branch Packages, which provide cloud-based management, configuration, and monitoring capabilities. While this enterprise management platform offers robust centralised control and 24×7 support, organisations should be aware that the device requires ongoing NetCloud subscription services for full functionality. The cloud management approach streamlines multi-site deployments and provides centralised visibility but represents an operational consideration for total cost of ownership.
