Cradlepoint MC400LP5 Modular LTE Cat 6 Modem

The certified refurbished Cradlepoint MC400LP5 is an LTE Advanced Cat 6 modular modem with dual 2FF SIM slots, up to 300 Mbps downlink, 50 Mbps uplink, 4x4 MIMO, dual external SMA antennas, and a compact 93 × 70 × 13 mm design, ideal for boosting WAN connectivity in compatible Cradlepoint routers across Asia-Pacific deployments. This modular card lets you cost‑effectively extend the life of existing AER, CBA and IBR series routers with fast, carrier‑grade 4G connectivity instead of replacing the whole router.

Overview

The MC400LP5 is designed for LTE Category 6 (FDD/TDD) with carrier aggregation for higher throughput and resilience, plus DC-HSPA+ fallback for areas with limited LTE coverage. Its small 0.104 kg form factor, USB Type A interface and included wideband 600 MHz – 6 GHz paddle antennas make it a flexible, space‑efficient option for branch, vehicle and remote-site use.

This unit is a certified refurbished, Verified Reboot Refurb product from Reboot IT, meaning it has been professionally restored, cleaned and fully tested to meet strict performance standards.

Ideal uses

This modular modem is well suited to:

• Business branches needing primary or failover 4G connectivity for Cradlepoint AER1600/1650 or CBA850 routers.
• Mobile or vehicle deployments using IBR600C or IBR900 (with COR Extensibility Dock) that require reliable cellular WAN, GPS and SMS support.
• Retail, transport, construction or temporary sites that need secure, remotely managed connectivity across a broad range of LTE bands in Australia, New Zealand and wider Asia-Pacific.

Because it is modular and router‑powered, the MC400LP5 is particularly useful where space is tight, uptime is critical, and replacing the main router would be costly or disruptive.

Key features & benefits

• LTE Advanced Cat 6 with 2x carrier aggregation for up to 300 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink, delivering fast and responsive WAN for cloud apps, VPNs and VoIP.
• Broad FDD and TDD LTE band support plus WCDMA/DC‑HSPA+ fallback, helping maintain connectivity across multiple carriers and regions.
• Dual 2FF (mini) SIM slots for flexible multi‑carrier setups, redundancy, or data‑plan optimisation.
• Active GPS support for location‑aware applications such as fleet tracking, asset monitoring or geo‑fencing.
• External wideband paddle antennas (2x SMA) included, improving signal quality and allowing more flexible placement for better reception.
• Rugged design with -30°C to 70°C operating temperature and MIL‑STD 810G / SAEJ1455 compliance when installed in compatible routers, making it suitable for demanding industrial or in‑vehicle environments.
• Certified and verified refurbished by Reboot IT, giving you enterprise‑grade connectivity at a significantly lower cost than new hardware while helping reduce e‑waste.
• Operating platform – pros: integrates with Cradlepoint’s NetCloud-managed environment for centralised monitoring, remote configuration and regular security updates.
• Operating platform – cons: full activation and management require a compatible Cradlepoint endpoint with an active NetCloud Service Plan, which adds an ongoing subscription requirement.
