Curated by: Gert Jan Wolf - Editor-in Chief for The Critical Communications Review

Cradlepoint, a global leader in cloud-delivered Long Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G wireless network solutions, announced the qualification of its 5G routers and adaptors for AWS Private 5G, a managed service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that makes it easier for enterprises to deploy, operate, and scale their private mobile networks.


From LTE to 5G, mobile network technology is providing essential connectivity for the modern enterprise, augmenting existing networks with higher bandwidth, lower latency, and reliable cellular coverage to an increasing number of devices. AWS Private 5G can help businesses take advantage of all of the beneļ¬ts of 5G while maintaining the security, predictive cost, and granular application and device control of a private network.

AWS Private 5G with Cradlepoint edge devices help enterprises easily set up, deploy, operate, and scale private cellular networks. While AWS delivers the private mobile network as a service, customers can now benefit from using Cradlepoint 5G edge devices to connect essential infrastructure securely and reliably via wired, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi connections.

As an essential part of any private network offering, Cradlepoint edge devices (User Equipment or UE) complement AWS Private 5G by delivering:

  • An extensive portfolio of enterprise-class 5G routers and adapters tailored to specific requirements (indoor, outdoor, ruggedized, fixed, mobile, IoT)
  • Exceptional LTE and 5G security, performance, and reliability
  • Cellular Intelligence built into the products that help IT teams visualize, optimize and manage cellular connections, data plans, and traffic flow at scale

The market for private 5G continues to rapidly expand as organizations in various industries, such as manufacturing, logistics, education, smart cities, etc., look to deploy private mobile networks to connect devices, machines, kiosks, sensors, robots, people, vehicles, and more with advanced security and non-stop reliability.

“The U.S. 5G enterprise private network market is expected to reach more than $13.92 billion by 2028, signaling that IT departments across various verticals will need to build and manage a private 5G network,” said Marc Bresniker, SVP of product management at Cradlepoint. “We are thrilled that our lineup of Cradlepoint 5G routers and adapters are now certified to work with AWS Private 5G, enabling customers to deploy private networking while addressing the security, agility, and resiliency demands of enterprises.”
