Designed for fixed locations that require the higher performance of 5G and the flexibility of wireless, the outdoor Ericsson Cradlepoint W1855-5GC wideband adapter ushers in the latest generation of wireless WAN networking. The W-Series is designed to accommodate the latest spectrums, recent innovations, and breadth of new technologies in 5G while delivering enterprise-class scalability standards, comprehensive management, and security.
High Performance Wideband
The W1855-5GC adapters are purpose-built for outdoor deployment in the high-performance low-, mid-band 5G spectrum. To address the tradeoff of lower propagation in the mid-band spectrum, Ericsson designed theW1855 Series outdoor adapter to be placed separately from the router for optimal signal reception. The stylized W1855-5GC adapter is less than half the size of the previous outdoor 5G adapter which makes installation easier.
Designed for Enterprise Class Business
While the performance of 5G is top of mind, the W-Series was also designed with enterprise-class standards for high scalability, comprehensive management, and security. Representing the latest available 5G standards which are a collection of spectrum, technologies, and network infrastructure enhancements, the Ericsson Enterprise Wireless 5G edge networking service and endpoints accommodate the diverse deployments of an organization with hundreds or even tens of thousands of sites.
