TORONTO — Cradlepoint, a global leader in cloud-delivered LTE and 5G wireless network edge solutions, announced today the certification of its W1850 Series 5G Wideband Adapter for the Bell 5G network.
“The first enterprise-grade 5G Wireless WAN solution to be certified by Bell, the Cradlepoint W1850 will offer business and public sector customers enterprise-class speed and performance, to support bandwidth-intensive and latency-sensitive use cases, such as video, immersive and collaborative applications,” reads a press release.
“The most progressive organizations are looking to unlock the full potential of 5G technology with fixed wireless access solutions designed to increase agility, improve operations, or enhance customer experiences,” said Ranjeeta Singh, senior vice-president and head of product and innovation at Bell, in the release.
“Our certification of the Cradlepoint W1850 Series 5G wideband adapter allows businesses across Canada to take advantage of the most-awarded 5G network with a true enterprise-class connectivity solution,” Singh said.
The Cradlepoint W1850 Series is a dual-connectivity 5G and LTE wireless adapter “designed for indoor use for branches that require the higher performance and lower latency of Cat 20 LTE and low-band 5G,” the release explains.
The W1850 adapter is managed by Cradlepoint’s cloud-delivered NetCloud Manager “which provides IT teams with the visibility, security, control and management they need to build and maintain an enterprise-grade Wireless WAN,” the release says.
“Canadian organizations are only just beginning to see the numerous benefits 5G has to offer, and we’re excited to support them through this new certification with Bell Canada,” said Jason Falovo, vice-president and general manager for Canada at Cradlepoint, which is a subsidiary of Ericsson and headquartered in Boise, Idaho.
“Wireless WANs are helping to drive digital transformation and efficiencies across businesses. Cradlepoint has in-depth experience supporting the adoption of 5G services to help businesses innovate — from retail stores that service customers through a pop-up location, to EMS services that need the best connection for their fleets, to traditional enterprises with remote workers that need a fast, secure connection.”
