Before You Begin
Read the following before setting up your W2005 outdoor 5G Wideband adapter.
Location Considerations
The W2005 outdoor 5G Wideband adapter is purpose-built for exterior mounting and should be
installed by a professional. The following includes considerations when identifying a location for
mounting.
• Ensure that the mounting surface clear of any obstructions or objects that may interfere
with the antennas, signal reception, or cables.
• Position the device for optimal signal reception.
• Ensure plenty of airflow for ventilation.
• For the W2005 to maintain its rating against hurricane force winds (up to 137mph
sustained); the following must be met when pole mounted
o The pole on which the W2005 is to be mounted must be metal, hollow, and
between 3-10 inches in diameter
o From the base of the pole to where the W2005 is mounted can be no higher than
10 feet.
• Mount in locations compliant with the Safety, Regulatory, and Warranty guide, included
in the product shipping box
IMPORTANT: The W2005 outdoor 5G Wideband adapter requires increased separation
distances in relation to other networking hardware. Therefore, Cradlepoint requires that all 5G
adapters be installed by a professional. For assistance with installation or in locating a
professional installer, contact Cradlepoint Sales and Support.
Ethernet Cable Considerations
Cradlepoint recommends shielded twisted-pair (S/FTP) Ethernet cabling and connectors
(Cat6a/Cat7a) for optimal wired network performance.
SIM Card Setup for Wireless Connectivity
A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your Cradlepoint W2005 for wireless
broadband connectivity. Network providers, such as AT&T, Verizon, and Telstra, must provision
a SIM to provide wireless broadband data plans compatible for use with the Cradlepoint W2000
and W2005 Branch 5G adapter endpoints. Contact your network provider for further details.
