The R980 is the mid range 5G router for Mobile and IOT applications. It is a small footprint 5G ruggedized unit, designed for IOT applications, with higher performance and lower latency for video and other cutting-edge applications. It handles low and mid-band 5G transmission in addition to 4G LTE.

This description is for the IOT models of the R980 routers.

The modem in the R980 is capable of handling carrier slicing and is able to handle Containers software.

The R980 is also eSIM (embedded SIM) ready. eSIM ready is designed for 2 use cases. The first use case is carrier switching. If a router is deployed and for some reason, the carrier needs to be switched, issuing a command via NetCloud Manager to switch carriers. This 1st use case should be available mid 2025. The second use case is zero touch provisioning which is to be implemented in the future.

Routers on this page are designed for the IOT use cases for the R980. These R980 routers come with Ericsson NetCloud software bundled in with the hardware. The NetCloud version is designed for IOT use cases. The R980 router is the lowest price point which is available for 5G IOT use cases.

Most importantly, the R980 does not come with a power supply. The unit comes with a 3meter GPIO cable. A separate power supply, cellular antennas (4) and WiFi antennas (2) are available separately.
