When it comes to network redundancy, a reliable Failover solution is essential. The Ericsson Cradlepoint CBA850 has been a trusted device for ensuring stable internet connectivity for businesses of all sizes with both single and multiple locations. While the device is set to go end of life in 2027, the CBA850 is an excellent choice for those looking to add a reliable Failover solution for a fraction of what the industry-leading Ericsson Cradlepoint hardware usually costs. As we move into 2025 and 2026, purchasing a discounted CBA850 is one of the most cost-effective methods to protect your business from unplanned downtime.

Proven Reliability & Performance

The CBA850 has earned its reputation as a dependable device for ensuring uninterrupted internet access, and at its’ release, was one of Cradlepoint’s (now Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions Group) most popular devices. Excelling in specific industries like retail and food service, the CBA850 has a history of reliable performance that would still make it a worthy Failover option even compared to the newer devices on the market today.

Ericsson Cradlepoint Reliability with a Budget-Friendly Price

Given that the CBA850 is an older model, we’re offering it at a significantly reduced cost compared to newer alternatives. This makes it an ideal solution for businesses for those with tight budgets, plus the CBA850 is set to continue to receive the latest software and firmware updates from Ericsson until 2027. Even beyond 2027, the device will still be functional, it just won’t have access to updates past the end-of-life date set by the manufacturer.
