Cradlepoint holds about 2 MA-L blocks registered as "CradlePoint, Inc" at 1100 W. Idaho Street, Suite 800, Boise, ID. The verified prefixes are 00:30:44 and 00:E0:1C (the latter a legacy block dating to the late 1990s, now attributed to CradlePoint — a registrant-history note). These OUIs appear on cellular/LTE/5G routers and gateways for enterprise WAN, branch, IoT, and in-vehicle use — the NetCloud-managed router line, the COR/IBR series, and the E-series enterprise routers. Cradlepoint was acquired by Ericsson for an enterprise value of approximately USD 1.1 billion (announced 18 September 2020, completed 2 November 2020) and operates as a stand-alone subsidiary within Ericsson. For triage, a Cradlepoint OUI indicates an enterprise cellular/5G router — often a branch-office primary or LTE failover link, or an in-vehicle/IoT gateway — and its presence flags a WAN egress path that may bypass the primary firewall, important for egress-control and shadow-WAN detection.
