The CradlePoint CBA750B mobile broadband series adapters enable easy-to-install wireless WAN connectivity in fixed-
business locations. For distributed enterprises like branch offices, retail stores, restaurants, and small businesses, the

modem (included with ARC models) when failover occurs.

device, converting mobile broadband to Ethernet for point-of-sale tools, digital signs, and kiosks.
