Everything You Need to Know
Common questions about the Cradlepoint W2005 and how it fits into your IoT ecosystem.
- Where is the W2005 typically installed?
The W2005 is designed for outdoor, fixed installations—mounted on rooftops, poles, or building exteriors—delivering high-speed wireless connectivity directly to a LAN or SD-WAN gateway inside the premises.
- What sets the W2005 apart from standard indoor modems?
Unlike indoor units, the W2005 features a rugged IP67-rated enclosure, protecting it from dust, water, and extreme temperatures—making it ideal for harsh environments without needing protective cabinets.
- Can the W2005 improve performance in areas with weak signal?
Yes. Its outdoor placement enables optimal line-of-sight positioning for stronger, more stable signal reception—particularly valuable in fringe coverage zones or congested urban environments.
- Does it require a power source nearby?
No separate power outlet is needed—thanks to PoE++ support, it can receive both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing cabling requirements.
