AT&T is now working with Cradlepoint to help businesses and first responders prepare for the coming shift to 5G.
Cradlepoint’s latest in-office and in-vehicle 5G Evolution routers are now available on the FirstNet communications platform and AT&T network. The devices provide businesses and first responders with the fastest speeds possible today, while also providing a path to easily upgrade to 5G in the future.
Cradlepoint 5G Evolution routers are available only to FirstNet subscribers and AT&T business customers until March 2019.
IBR900-1200M and IBR1700-1200M: Ruggedized, GPS-enabled mobile routers built to connect a wide range of in-vehicle applications that can be used in a variety of public safety and commercial settings: police cruisers, ambulances, fire apparatuses, mobile command centers, public utility vehicles, school buses, delivery trucks, taxi and limo fleets, and more.
AER2200-1200M: An all-in-one office router designed for small- to medium-sized businesses.
MC400-1200M: A modular modem that can be used with applicable Cradlepoint routers to provide primary or secondary LTE connectivity on the FirstNet communications platform or other AT&T networks.
For Public Safety
These Cradlepoint devices are certified as FirstNet Ready, undergoing more than 3,500 tests. That means first responders using these routers can experience fast connections while still benefitting from FirstNet’s unique qualities, like enhanced security on a dedicated and physically separate network core, prioritized communications, increased coverage and capacity through Band 14, and more.
With multiple device options available, public safety entities have the flexibility to choose the right tool for the job. For example, Cradlepoint’s in-vehicle router could be used to enhance first responders’ ability to send and receive high-quality video while in the field and enable computer-aided dispatch (CAD) for police cruisers, fire trucks, or ambulances. Public safety entities could also drop the router into a mobile command center to establish connectivity during a disaster or planned event.
FirstNet subscribers can get in touch with their local sales rep to order these Cradlepoint devices. New customers can order by visiting FirstNet.com and clicking on “contact us.”
For Businesses
As businesses embrace digital transformation and the IoT, they are connecting more people, places and things than ever before. Cradlepoint’s portfolio of wireless edge solutions for business are designed to work with the AT&T network to provide the reach, reliability, and speed businesses need. For example, they’ll be able to move large sets of enterprise data to and from the cloud, and to support more IoT devices.
Businesses looking to grow their IoT footprint can use the Cradlepoint IBR200 and IBR600 series IoT gateway solutions to provide managed and highly secure connectivity to IoT deployments, such as kiosks, digital signage, and video surveillance systems. These IoT gateways are compatible with the AT&T’s IoT platforms.
