Cradlepoint unveils industry's first 5G Enterprise Router for wireless WAN era

KUALA LUMPUR: Cradlepoint, the global leader in cloud-delivered LTE and 5G wireless network edge solutions, is continuing its mission to enable businesses to connect beyond the limits of wired networks through the expansion of its second-generation 5G product portfolio.

The Cradlepoint E3000 Series 5G Enterprise Router, orderable now, is the industry's first enterprise-class router that provides businesses with fast, agile, secure, and resilient 5G connectivity for primary, failover, or SD-WAN use cases without traditional performance compromises.

"The pandemic has drastically altered the business climate, forcing companies to embrace technology like 5G to enable their WANs to become more agile and resilient," said Cradlepoint VP of Product Marketing, Donna Johnson in a statement.

"Cradlepoint is making the Wireless WAN a reality with products like the E3000 5G Series Enterprise Router, giving customers 5G branch connectivity without compromising enterprise-class management, features or performance."

The Cradlepoint E3000 Series 5G Enterprise Router supports the features and capabilities including choice of 5G, high-speed fiber and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet WAN ports; the most LTE and 5G connectivity options; nine downstream switched Ethernet ports (4 with PoE) plus Wi-Fi 6 and optional Bluetooth 5.1; and, Private Cellular Networking support for CBRS in both 5G and LTE modes.

While LTE has been enabling businesses to leverage wireless and 'cut-the-cord' solutions for a while, the speed, intelligence, and resiliency of next-generation 5G services is becoming a catalyst to Wireless WAN adoption.

Not only does it make today's applications better, but will also enable a new generation of immersive customer experiences at the network edge, as well as more cost-effective SD-WAN 5G architectures, anywhere connectivity, and high-speed wireless failover for larger sites.

While other vendors are trying to get their first 5G products to market, Cradlepoint is already shipping its second-generation of purpose-built 5G for Business solutions, giving customers the most pathways to all flavours of 5G.
