Interface card / adapter CradlePoint 170758-000, black, single pack

The CradlePoint 170758-000 interface card/adapter is a black, single-pack accessory designed to provide or restore specific interface connectivity for compatible CradlePoint networking devices. Intended as a service, upgrade, or spare-part item, this module enables integration of additional interface capabilities within small office, branch or field deployments where device-specific interface modules are required. It supports the creation of custom applications around vehicle diagnostics and positioning when deployed with compatible systems and SDKs.

Advantages

This interface card simplifies field maintenance by offering a direct replacement or upgrade path for compatible CradlePoint devices, reducing downtime and the need for full-unit swaps. Its compatibility with SDK-based custom apps allows integration of vehicle diagnostics and the use of custom NMEA sentences to combine OBD-II and GPS information. The module also enables Auto Dead Reckoning (ADR) for improved vehicle positioning in environments with intermittent GNSS signals and supports a broad range of vehicle types through partnerships with established telematics providers.

Suitable for

• Field service and remote branch router maintenance
• Small office and mobile deployments requiring device-specific interface modules
• Telematics and vehicle diagnostics integration projects
• Upgrading a device to enable Auto Dead Reckoning and combined OBD-II/GPS data streams

Key specifications

• Form factor: interface card/adapter for compatible CradlePoint devices
• Color: black
• Pack quantity: single unit
• Functionality: adds or replaces interface connectivity module on supported routers
• Application support: compatible with SDKs for custom app development and telemetry integration

How to use

Power down the host CradlePoint device according to the device manual before removing or installing the interface card. Insert the adapter into the appropriate interface slot on the compatible device, ensuring proper alignment and secure seating. Power the device back on and verify recognition of the module through the device management interface. If integrating vehicle diagnostics or positioning features, deploy the compatible SDK or firmware and configure custom NMEA sentence handling and ADR settings as required by your application.

Recommendations

Use original CradlePoint firmware and follow the device-specific installation instructions. Test module recognition and functionality in a controlled environment before deploying to production, and keep a spare unit in inventory for rapid field replacement.
