Verizon Certifies Cradlepoint Adapter, Furthers 5G Mission

Whether it’s Industry 4.0 or inside the home office, 5G is a topic we are all accustomed to hearing about. The wait is offer, 5G is here, and now its time to see what it can do.

Verizon and Cradlepoint jointly announced the certification of Cradlepoint’s W1850 5G Wideband Adapter to offer C-band spectrum connectivity via Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband (UWB) Network.

“Cradlepoint 5G Wireless WAN solutions have been specifically designed to support the Verizon 5G mid-band networks and have gone through extensive testing and certification from Verizon,” says Justin Blair, Vice President Carrier Business Development at Cradlepoint. “Cradlepoint has in-depth experience supporting enterprise adoption of 5G services—whether you need low, mid or high band—we will have you covered regardless of your use case.”

As business takes a digital, wireless-driven approach, Verizon aims to leverage the Cradlepoint relationship to meeting mounting connectivity demand, and make 5G UWB service available to 175 million people by year’s end.  For businesses, this means secure, agile and fast connectivity, capable of supporting bandwidth-intensive, latency-sensitive use cases.

Massimo Peselli, senior vice president of Global Enterprise, Verizon Business, noted “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.”
