SD-WAN built for wireless
SD-WAN transformed fixed-site networking. Now it needs to work just as well for vehicles, IoT devices, and mobile operations powered by 5G. Ericsson's SD-WAN was built for this reality — optimizing traffic across cellular, wired, satellite, and Wi-Fi connections with the simplicity IT teams need.
Intelligent bonding of cellular, wired, Wi-Fi as WAN, and satellite connections
Mission-critical applications demand continuous connectivity. Intelligent bonding combines multiple connections — cellular, satellite, wired — into one virtual path, giving you true resiliency and precise traffic control for vehicles, fixed sites, and emergency deployments.
SD-WAN technology meets 5G
- Support for application-based traffic steering
- Consideration of cellular attributes such as available bandwidth and data usage when steering traffic
- Integration of Cellular Intelligence to provide better insights and visibility of the 5G network
- Increased performance using microtunnel technology
- Support for 5G network slicing for predictable performance
Built on zero trust architecture
NetCloud is built on zero trust principles and changes the network paradigm from "connect first, then secure" to "secure first, then connect." By limiting the attack surface, helping to prevent lateral movements and ensuring no implicit trust, this zero trust architecture is the perfect foundation to your next-generation SD-WAN solution.
Designed for lean IT teams managing distributed networks, SD-WAN gives you control without complexity.
Designed for a lean IT staff with little time for complex set-up and troubleshooting, SD-WAN enables you to:
- Bond multiple connections together to improve reliability, efficiency, and performance
- Simplify management of multiple WAN connections
- Steer applications based on latency, jitter, loss, and available bandwidth
- Apply a single application-based policy network-wide
- Gain granular visibility into application performance
Application-based traffic steering
SD-WAN traffic steering enables intelligent, policy-based routing to direct traffic over optimal WAN links (cellular, Ethernet, Wi-Fi) based on application type and performance metrics.
Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions is recognized as a Leader and an Outperformer on the GigaOm Radar Report for SD-WAN
Cloud management for scalability
Ericsson NetCloud Manager provides full lifecycle management for Wireless WANs. Including zero-tough deployment, creation of secure networks, and at-a-glance analytics and troubleshooting — enabling you to scale your network, not your staff.
