Ericsson unveils in-vehicle 5G router with industry-first dual-SIM failover and edge AI

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) is addressing the growing need for resilient, intelligent connectivity in mobile environments with the new Ericsson Cradlepoint R2400 and extensible RC1250 modem. Designed for vehicles and mobile field teams, this solution combines ultra-fast failover, precise location services, and powerful edge computing to help organizations operate safely, efficiently, and with confidence.


Whether it’s first responders coordinating life-saving missions, transit operators keeping passengers connected and on schedule, or private fleets optimizing routes and conducting predictive maintenance, the R2400 delivers the performance these sectors demand. Compatible with public safety networks and network slicing services, the R2400 leverages the latest in 5G standalone Release 17 technology to support new capabilities across public safety, mass transit, and private fleet networks.


Key highlights include:


Fast carrier failover: Industry-first Dual‑SIM / Dual Standby (DSDS) on a single modem enables carrier switchover roughly 10× faster than previous approaches keeping voice, video, and data flowing during critical missions and transit routes.

Centimeter‑level location accuracy: Real‑Time Kinematics (RTK) combined with dead‑reckoning improves positioning from 1–3 meters to ~1 cm, enabling lane‑level vehicle identification and precise real-time tracking of personnel, assets, and drones.

Multi-link resiliency: Support for up to five simultaneous cellular plus multiple low‑Earth‑orbit (LEO) satellite connections maximizes throughput and availability, even in rural or low‑coverage areas.

High‑performance in‑vehicle Wi‑Fi: Embedded 4x4 software defined Wi‑Fi 7 access point delivers approximately 2-4× faster Wi‑Fi speeds for passenger and operational communications across mass transit and public safety.

As first responders and mass-transit agencies adopt AI, real-time monitoring, and autonomous vehicles/drones, reliable, scalable in-vehicle connectivity is becoming critical. According to Verizon's Frontline Study 2025, 46 percent of first responders expect daily AI use within five years, and 48 percent expect daily drone use. The National Academies Autonomous Transit Survey (2024) found that 84 percent of transit agencies plan to use or evaluate autonomous buses within three to five years. Paired with the extensible RC1250 modem, the R2400 delivers pay-as-you grow WAN capacity for applications such as live video streaming, while providing on-board local AI inferencing.
