Firstnet Compact Rapid Deployable
Firstnet Compact Rapid Deployable
The CRD for FirstNet provides connectivity when and where AT&T cellular coverage is unavailable.
This could be due to a network outage, or where AT&T does not provide service. It will support up
to 600 simultaneous FirstNet users. The CRD also provides high speed Internet via Wi-Fi or
Ethernet cable. The CRD may be purchased and operated by any Primary or Extended-Primary
FirstNet customer. CRDs are easy to store indoors and can be transported by a single person, off
the ground, on any 2" Class 3 or better trailer hitch, with no lifting required to mount or dismount.

CRD for FirstNet Overview
The CRD can roll through standard doorways and onto most elevators. They are transported on any
2" Class 3 or better trailer hitch with no modification to the carrying vehicle. This transportation
method allows the CRD to be carried anywhere the SUV/Truck can maneuver. It is not towed
behind the vehicle like a trailer, but rides wheels-up, like a cargo-carrier. This eliminates ongoing
fees like registration, licensing and insurance, that would typically be required for trailers.

CRD for FirstNet Use Cases
DISASTER
An incident has occurred (Hurricane, Fire, Flood,
Earthquake, Tornado, Terrorism, etc.) where FirstNet
Cellular service is disrupted or not available. You deploy
your CRD for FirstNet. No Internet or network LTE of any
kind is available, so the system uses the high-speed
satellite service to supply Internet to the FirstNet radio. All
FirstNet cell phones and devices up to two miles function
normally. Non-FirstNet devices within 500’ can use the
Wi-Fi signal. Non-FirstNet cell phones within 500’ can
make phone calls using the Wi-Fi Calling feature.

CRD for FirstNet Deployment
The CRD is not just a cell tower. It is designed to do many jobs. There are multiple ways it can be
deployed. The CRD has multiple pathways it uses to talk to the internet and the outside world. This
is generally called WAN, or Wide Area Network. In the Cellular world, this is called Backhaul. The
Cradlepoint router manages this traffic and uses Ethernet (wired internet), Wi-Fi from another
source, high speed satellite or cellular network SIM cards to communicate with any working cell
towers in the area for internet connectivity. Different SIM cards can be used based on which
working cell towers are available, and can be easily changed as needed using a screwdriver.
Instructions for this can be found in the Owners Manual & User Guides.
The pathways the CRD uses to communicate with you are called LAN, or Local Area Network.
Cellular networks sometimes refer to this as User Access.
Warning: It is important to understand that you cannot simultaneously transmit FirstNet cellular
from the CRD while FirstNet SIM cards are in the Cradlepoint router. Use your FirstNet SIM cards
only when providing Wi-Fi and/or wired ethernet with the FirstNet cell tower radio off.
SIM cards are small integrated chips that hold a unique identification number, phone number and
other data that links to the customer's cellular/LTE provider's account. In the CRD, SIM cards in the
Cradlepoint modem are used to communicate with the local cellular towers to bring data to the unit.
The CRD can become a local cellular tower by using the contained SBO FirstNet Cellular radio to
transmit a FirstNet LTE cell signal. When using the FirstNet Cellular radio with the mast and
antenna, the CRD has effectively become a local FirstNet LTE cell tower.
The SIM will lock onto the CRD cell tower and create a no-data loop. For example, if the CRD is
transmitting as a FirstNet cell tower, there cannot be black FirstNet SIMs in the Cradlepoint.
In some use cases, the CRD does not need to transmit FirstNet LTE, but needs to provide internet to
a building that has lost its internet connection. In these cases, it is recommended to put black
FirstNet SIMs into the Cradlepoint and let them communicate with either a local FirstNet cell tower
or an AT&T tower for high-speed internet access with priority and preemption.

CRD for FirstNet Configurations
This configuration is used where you have a ready supply of Internet (WAN) from an Ethernet cable
plugged into the CRD, Wi-Fi from a local source, or good Cellular signal from a Cellular network
using SIM cards (including FirstNet SIM) in Cradlepoint router. The CRD is providing internet to the
users (LAN) using wired internet (ethernet) and Wi-Fi. The satellite terminal and FirstNet mast are
not needed.

CRD for FirstNet Configurations
This configuration is used where you have a ready supply of Internet from an Ethernet cable
plugged into the CRD, Wi-Fi from a local source, or good Cellular signal from a cellular network not
including FirstNet. This is because you cannot broadcast a FirstNet signal from the CRD’s FirstNet
mast/radio and attempt to backhaul to the FirstNet network cell towers at the same time. The CRD
is providing Ethernet, Wi-Fi and up to two miles of FirstNet Cellular service. The satellite terminal is
not needed.
