Your pathway to 5G
There are many ways to enter the pathway to 5G, all of which can help mitigate your business risk today and propel your organisation into a technology leadership position for tomorrow.
We’ve witnessed 4G LTE transform business models, companies, and entire industries. By comparison, 5G is in a league of its own. Consumers see 5G as a faster smartphone or internet broadband experience. However, businesses view 5G as a game-changing technology that can help streamline operations while driving new revenue streams.
As a preeminent market-maker in 4G, and by delivering the world’s first enterprise-grade 5G solutions, Cradlepoint is the demonstrated leader in 5G for business.
Fiber Fast, Wireless Flexible
Historically, networks require tradeoffs between flexibility and performance. Wireless connections offer tremendous flexibility but can’t match the performance of fiber links. 5G eliminates this tradeoff, providing fiber-fast connections with wireless flexibility to rev up existing applications while enabling new innovative and immersive ones.
Why 5G?
Worlds First 5G Business Solution
Available today in Australia on Telstra’s network, the 5G Wideband Adapters are coming to a market near you with support of all 5G bands and flexible deployment options.
Collaboration
Today’s 5G standard has a few implementation options, some wet paint, and several gaps. To ensure a superior enterprise experience, Cradlepoint works closely with major carriers to test and tune its solutions to their 5G networks
No 5G Signal, No Problem
Cradlepoint 5G Wideband Adapters utilize the latest 5G chipset technology with LTE/Gigabit-Class LTE fallback built-in. Since both modems are always connected, loss of the 5G signal doesn’t mean loss of the connection
Strike Up All The Bands
The first Cradlepoint 5G solution to ship will be the W2000 Wideband Adapter, which supports low-to-mid-band 5G (Sub-6). We announced a future W4000 model designed to support high-band 5G (mmWave).
Two Forms Follow Function
Our new 5G Wideband Adapters will come in two forms: an indoor unit (IDU) and outdoor unit (ODU). With these two forms, we can functionally support everything from LTE-like low-band to line-of-sight millimeter wave.
Better Together, Works Apart
The 5G Wideband Adapter is designed to work with any third-party router. When paired with a Cradlepoint 5G-capable router, customers get a fully integrated lifecycle management experience and optimized performance.
Cradlepoint, A leader in 4G, is bringing the worlds first 5G business product, With cradlepoint 5G means Business.

4G LTE is the Foundation of 5G
4G LTE is the foundation technology for 5G. For 5G, modems
will maintain two connections: 5G and 4G LTE (including
Gigabit-Class LTE). If a 5G signal weakens, traffic
automatically flows through the LTE connection.

Unlike prior cellular generations, 5G is made up of a collection of enhanced technologies, new spectrum, and advanced infrastructure. Although all these elements work together, they will roll out in different ways and at different times. 5G is more of a pathway than an event.
As a result, many organisations will wait until all the elements are completely rolled out and mature before beginning to take advantage. However, they may regret that decisions in a few years, as their competitors rapidly roll out new technologies and applications and gain significant advantages.
