Cradlepoint and Verizon announced last week that they certified the W1850 5G Wideband Adapter to provide more connectivity options to Business Internet customers. Not only does this device support 5G, but it supports Verizon’s Ultra Wideband (UWB) network, which provides connectivity to the C-band spectrum. This is the spectrum at which 5G speeds can seriously exceed those of LTE and 5G on the low-band spectrum.
As stated in a recent article from Verizon, this is a significant milestone for Verizon’s 5G Fixed Wireless Access strategy.
“Enterprise and business market customers can now harness the power of 5G UWB, and with this device, get the speed and flexibility they need, especially those with a distributed or hybrid workforce.”
Verizon understands what businesses need and they are working with Cradlepoint to meet customer demands. Part of this process will be to make 5G UWB available to 175 million users by the end of this year. That can only be achieved with a reliable mid-band capable modem like the Cradlepoint W1850 adapter.
“Businesses are looking for partners that can provide fit-for-purpose solutions that unlock the full potential of 5G,” says Massimo Peselli, senior vice president of Global Enterprise, Verizon Business. “The collaboration we’ve announced today with Cradlepoint unlocks the potential of cellular for businesses and delivers Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband to businesses of all sizes, enabling them to take advantage of C-Band spectrum. Our strategic relationship has allowed us to deliver enterprise class solutions that, among other things, enable IT organizations to manage the entire Wireless WAN lifecycle.”
Cradlepoint has always been a trusted partner in helping customers to reach their business goals via managed wireless WAN solutions. They have over 15 years of experience working with carriers across the globe and can fit the needs for various fixed and mobile applications, accommodating one to multiple users.
