Extending the value of enterprise technology through 5G and LTE Wireless WAN
Businesses need to be more agile than ever to thrive in the pandemic-accelerated digital era. While network resiliency and flexibility have always been table–stake requirements, they have taken on heightened importance in recent years. Faced with distributed work environments and rapidly changing requirements, businesses had to look beyond their traditional enterprise campuses, and quickly extend network connectivity to new sites and remote users. This included, for example, extending connectivity to support remote student learning or enabling pop-up healthcare facilities.

Waiting weeks or months to get ISP connectivity was no longer acceptable; immediate connectivity was needed. Many businesses turned to Wireless Wide Area Networks (WANs) and discovered that not only did they solve their immediate connectivity problems, but they also opened a world of new opportunities, laying the foundation for further transformation and innovation.
They found that not only could LTE and 5G Wireless WANs provide day-1 connectivity to branch/remote locations, but they could also help by extending their value-add enterprise technologies to locations previously unreachable.
The new partnership between Cradlepoint and Extreme Networks is a great example of this. In addition to bringing together complementary technologies that extend from the enterprise LAN to the WAN, it supports the extension of Extreme’s innovative Fabric technology, over the Wireless WAN, to remote locations.
