New Cradlepoint 5G wireless edge solutions

The solutions will be powered by the company’s NetCloud Service and are built to meet business requirements of availability, interoperability, security, and manageability.

Telstra has been named as the launch partner for the first Cradlepoint 5G solution to be delivered to the market – the W2000-Series 5G Wideband Adapter. This 5G wireless edge solution will be offered as part of Telstra’s Enterprise Wireless service, and customer trials are scheduled to begin in April 2020.

By combining its NetCloud platform with new 5G modems and antenna systems, the new solutions will offer capabilities including: combined LTE and 5G in a single wireless WAN, support for all 5G bands, interoperability with existing customer SD-WAN and router infrastructures, and delivering the entire network management lifecycle.

“Our new NetCloud-powered portfolio of 5G wireless edge solutions represents another industry first for Cradlepoint,” explained George Mulhern, chairman and CEO of Cradlepoint. “We are excited to have Telstra – Australia’s leading mobile operator – as our worldwide launch partner for our new W2000-Series 5G Wideband Adapter. They share our strong belief that business customers are looking to embrace 5G to enable new and disruptive business applications and capabilities, but not at the cost of impaired network availability, security, and manageability.”
