Wireless is the future of networking

The time has arrived to consider wireless connectivity as a viable - even optimal - alternative for branch, in-vehicle and IoT edge networks.

Gigabit-class LTE and emerging 5G networks, combined with Cradlepoint's market leading routers and cloud-based software management, are both now available in Australia and delivering a superior connectivity option for enterprise.

In fact, Australia leads the world in going to market with a 5G Enterprise Wireless solution, thanks to a collaboration between Cradlepoint and Telstra. MobileCorp, as well as being a Cradlepoint Signature Partner, is also a Telstra Platinum Partner for Mobility and in the ideal position to deliver 5G Enterprise Wireless to enterprise, government and business organisations.

Australian enterprises are embracing Cradlepoint wireless solutions

"We always knew this was coming. It was only a matter of time before wireless WAN became a viable option for enterprise business and we are on the cusp of real uptake.

"The use cases are many - from temporary or pop-up connectivity, to scalable branch networks,  remote working connectivity, and edge IOT device networks.

"The benefits are also considerable led by agility of scaling locations and bandwidth. As a bonus. any connectivity solution that utilises Cradlepoint routers will be future-proofed. This is the outcome we want for our customers - a wireless network solution that works brilliantly now and will integrate with 5G as it becomes available."

MobileCorp Customer Use Cases

MobileCorp is working with several enterprise customers who will utilise Cradlepoint solutions for their network and connectivity. A couple of examples include:

• An enterprise event management company upgrading its network will use Cradlepoint AER2200s for a multi-path network environment for 70 branch locations with local internet breakout protected by a built-in firewall. In this case Cradlepoint's branch solution fits into a larger solution with additional main sites retaining private network connections, with all sites then connected to an AWS environment. 

• Marine Rescue NSW with 45 coastal sites will use Cradlepoint as the backbone of its upgraded network. AER2200 will manage traffic links and utilising Telstra LANES for reliable connectivity including the ability to scale bandwidth when crowds enter an area for events like beach carnivals, school holidays and NYE. Telstra's 4GX LTE network will be the primary link in remote locations without physical infrastructure and in other locations it will a fail-over link should physical links be compromised including during weather events and bushfire season. MobileCorp will supply solution architecture, Cradlepoint hardware supply, configuration and deployment, NetCloud portal set up, and an ongoing monitoring managed service.

Marine Rescue NSW Command Centre, Cronulla

• A leading elevator company unable to move into a new Adelaide-based branch office due to the combination of a complex build for their MPLS network which required civil works, and Telstra's nationwide bushfire embargo. Looking for a temporary fix, the Cradlepoint AER2200 with Telstra 4G data card provided a branch connectivity solution. MobileCorp has supplied and configured the router and set-up the Cradlepoint NetCloud portal which provides monitoring and OTA management.

• A medical research warehouse building site on the outskirts of Greater Sydney who faced a long wait for fixed infrastructure and required reliable flexible connectivity. A Cradlepoint AER1600 with MIMO directional antenna was supplied, configured and deployed by MobileCorp. Although 4G is a contended service, speeds of up to 65mbps download and 15mbps upload were recorded on installation. The use of the external antenna helped improve signal strength when connecting to Telstra's base station and the modems were pre-configured by MobileCorp to work on connection.
