Cradlepoint

Cradlepoint is a Boise, Idaho-based provider of cloud-managed wireless edge routers, 5G adapters, branch-in-a-box appliances, and the NetCloud platform for enterprise wireless WAN (LTE/5G), in-vehicle networks, branch connectivity, and IoT. Ericsson acquired Cradlepoint in 2020 (closed November 2020 for approximately US$1.1B) and Cradlepoint now operates as the core of Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions, working alongside Ericsson Private 5G and the Ericsson NetCloud SASE offering. Cradlepoint exposes its NetCloud Manager (NCM) platform through a documented RESTful API — NCM API v2 (Swagger 1.2, paired X-CP-API-ID/X-CP-API-KEY + X-ECM-API-ID/X-ECM-API-KEY headers, base https://www.cradlepointecm.com/api/v2/) and a newer NCM API v3 (OpenAPI 3.0, bearer-token authentication) — plus a NetCloud Router SDK for on-router Python applications and webhook destinations for alert delivery. The developer area (developer.cradlepoint.com), customer support article base (customer.cradlepoint.com), and Ericsson Enterprise Wireless docs portal (docs.cradlepoint.com) host the Getting Started guides, API reference, sample collections, and Postman bundles.

Cradlepoint publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Accounts API, ActivityLogs API, AlertPushDestinations API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Wireless WAN, 5G, LTE, Edge, and Branch Networking.

The Cradlepoint catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Cradlepoint’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, support, GitHub presence, engineering blog, product news, pricing, and 24 more developer resources.
