Telstra last week launched a world-first suite of Enterprise-grade 5G solutions.
Telstra Enterprise customers are the first in the world to be able to purchase and deploy Cradlepoint 5G wireless network edge solutions – a series of adaptors and routers engineered to deliver the speed, security, reliability and manageability required by Enterprise 5G customers.
Combined with Telstra’s 5G network and Enterprise Wireless service, they complete one of the world’s most comprehensive Enterprise 5G solutions, providing a real alternative to fixed connections for organisations.
Telstra said it has developed rigorous selection criteria and testing to ensure that these solutions will perform in an enterprise scenario.
Telstra will be launching Cradlepoint’s new portfolio of 5G network edge solutions:
- W2000 Series 5G Wideband Adapters – A choice of indoor or rugged outdoor integrated modem and antenna systems for 5G mobile access.
- E3000 Series – All-in-one 5G-optimised edge routers for small to midsized branches requiring advanced routing, SD-WAN and advanced security functionality at full 5G speeds.
- E300 Series – All-in-one 5G-ready edge routers for pop-up and smaller branch sites (to be launched later this quarter)
These 5G wireless edge endpoints will be powered by Telstra’s network and Enterprise Wireless service, enabling Enterprise customers in 5G coverage areas with the power of 5G while providing a host of powerful management tools. In non-5G areas, customers will switch to 4G/4GX coverage where available.
Purpose-built for LTE and 5G branch networking and controlled via the Cradlepoint NetCloud service, Branch, Mobile and IoT use-cases, all edge routers include cloud-based network connection management, routing and security as well as Telstra’s Managed Service, which includes professional services, device installation and setup, lifecycle management and service assurance.
