Designed for branches that require the higher performance of 5G and the flexibility of wireless, the Cradlepoint W-Series 5G Wideband Adapters usher in the next generation of Wireless WAN networking. The W-Series is designed to accommodate the diverse spectrums, multiple generations, and breadth of new technologies introduced in 5G while delivering enterprise-class standards of scalability, comprehensive management, and security
High Performance Wideband
The W-Series 5G Wideband Adapters are purpose-built for deployment in the new high-performance low-, mid-, and high-band 5G spectrum.To address the tradeoff of lower propagation, Cradlepoint designed the W-Series Adapter to be placed separately from the router for optimal signal reception with multiple available models. The W4005 Series 5G Wideband Adapter has metal construction with an IP67 rating and is designated for outdoor deployment.
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. Because 5G is a collection of new spectrum, new technologies, and new network infrastructure that is rolling out over several years, the Cradlepoint 5G edge networking service and endpoints accommodate the diverse deployments of an organization with hundreds or even tens of thousands of sites.
Key Features:
Carrier-Class Connectivity
Although each network operator conforms to 3GPP standards, they implement those standards differently to gain optimal efficiency and performance from their network. Additionally, software from modem manufacturers is designed to serve multiple operators within broad markets. The W-Series uses a customized software-defined modem, pre-programmed endpoints, and multilevel integrity testing to predict vulnerable connections and deliver carrier-class connectivity
5G Spectrum Solutions
The W-Series portfolio supports all spectrum layers ensuring that organizations have the right solution for every location. The W2000 and W2005 support low- and mid-band layers while the W4005 supports low-, mid-, and high-band layers.
