ACTIVATE YOUR MODEM
A Cradlepoint router requires a SIM with an active
data subscription to a wireless broadband data
plan to connect to a wireless network. SIMs with
wireless broadband data plans are available from
wireless carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, Sprint,
T-Mobile, EE and Vodafone. Carriers offer several
different types of data plans and Cradlepoint
works with most (Mobile broadband, M2M, and
router pricing plans; private and public APNS; and
static or dynamic IP address).
For more information on activation see
cradlepoint.com/activation.
GPS
The IBR900 and IBR950 come with an active GPS
connection at 3.3 V and 100 mA max.

ROUTER COMMUNICATION /
DATA USAGE
The factory default configuration of the router
is set to communicate with Cradlepoint and
other resources at regular intervals to access
the latest firmware and modem updates, clock
synchronization (NTP), and Enterprise Cloud
Manager (ECM) membership. Such communication
may result in data usage and applicable charges
regardless of whether the router uses a wired or
wireless Internet connection. To avoid such data
usage and potential charges, consult the following
