Before You Begin
Read through the following before you set up your Cradlepoint COR IBR1700 router(s).
Location Considerations
The IBR1700 series routers are built for installation in vehicles of all varieties. Refer to the Vehicle Installation Guide for COR Series Mobile Routers
(https://customer.cradlepoint.com/s/article/Vehicle-Installation-Guide-for-COR-Series-Mobile-Routers)for more information.
SIM Card for Wireless Connectivity
A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your Cradlepoint IBR1700 for wireless broadband connectivity. Wireless broadband data plans are
available from wireless carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, EE, and Vodafone. The SIM must be provisioned by the carrier. Contact your carrier for details
about selecting a data plan and about the process for provisioning your SIM. To configure the router for failover and failback functionality, refer to the article,
Effectively Utilizing 2-SIM Modems (https://customer.cradlepoint.com/s/article/NCOS-Effectively-utilizing-2-SIM-modems).
Best Practice: Choosing SIMs for Adverse Environments
As a best practice, Cradlepoint recommends the use of ruggedized SIMs in environmentally adverse deployments in which the router will experience
excessive shock and vibration. Different SIM card providers have varying degrees of consistency in meeting industry specifications. The use of ruggedized
SIMs helps mitigate against future SIM issues caused by such environments.
