As business transformation continues to fuel increased cloud, mobility, and IoT adoption, wired architectures have proven too limited and inflexible for securely connecting distributed enterprise sites, vehicles, remote employees, and devices. Cradlepoint is a pioneer in Wireless WAN, offering advanced 4G and 5G routers and adapters – controlled through its cloud-based software, NetCloud Manager. Cradlepoint recently announced NetCloud Exchange, an architectural extension of its NetCloud solution, to provide its partners with a suite of advanced services to support “cellular first” transformation.

“This is a new era for Cradlepoint partners. Over the last year, Cradlepoint has delivered both its NetCloud Exchange and  NetCloud Private Network solutions to enable our channel partners  a wireless-first network practice to their customers,” said Eric Purcell, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Sales at Cradlepoint. “We are appreciative of all of our resellers taking on new frontiers and creating unique practices that are accelerating LTE and 5G Wireless WAN adoption. RCN has worked hard to receive this recognition.”
