Networking & Cyber Security
How can firms ensure they are secure when connecting remotely? Securing network devices on the edge is becoming more critical for businesses of all types, from coffee shops and retail stores to government buildings and remote workers. WiFi has become the norm for these businesses, and guests and employees alike expect it wherever they go. However, spread across multiple locations, this increased network can be incredibly difficult for IT teams to manage and secure. 5G can support these teams. By combining the ultra-fast
broadband speeds with security functions like application-aware firewalls and cloud-based traffic analytics, IT teams can control what applications have access to a network or guide certain applications to a dedicated WAN source. Web filters also prevent users from accessing bad links. For example, if a device was deployed on a school bus, it could prevent students from accessing inappropriate websites. It is also possible for IT teams to manage all of this through cloud tools without needing physical access to the routers, updating all routers with the same patch or configuration. Tey would also save significant time and money
What further applications will businesses be looking for from their service providers in the future? Te world of work is changing, and businesses are aware of this. Tey are looking for providers that will support them in this new way of working - being able to bring the business to the customer, rather than relying on the customer to come through the door. Likewise, they will want suppliers that give them the flexibility necessary to adapt to any situation in the future, whether that’s going back into lockdowns or handling the demands of a hybrid workforce. Te providers that can offer this will set themselves apart from the rest of the pack, and those that don’t are risking their future.
How is Cradlepoint helping MSP and SSP’s deliver these services to their clients? Cradlepoint is always on hand to support our partners with their delivery. We pride ourselves that our service doesn’t stop once a client has a router in their hands but continues throughout the entire relationship. We provide technical support if needed or training on the best ways of using the Wireless WAN routers. We are also always looking at improving our services, which can
be seen with the launch of the new E102 router in the EMEA region, designed to help support flexible working through its high speeds.
What can we expect to see from Cradlepoint over the next year? With the ubiquitous deployment of carrier aggregated 4G networks and rollout of 5G networks enabling cellular connectivity to provide better than broadband performance. Early adopter MSP and SSP’s are realising that Cellular can provide a robust connectivity alternative in their portfolio, which allows them to generate new revenue streams previously closed off to them. Tis will create a momentum in the market where Cellular
connectivity becomes more and more core to their offerings in 2022. Cradlepoint with its enhanced management, performance and critically, built-in security capabilities right to the edge will be a key enabler of this for enterprise. Tis creativity will then explode use cases where Cradlepoint
seamlessly integrate into industrial and business use cases becoming a key connective tissue in the fabric which enables macro trends like Industry 4.0, smart cities and wider carbon reducing technologies to function effectively. Finally through the tie in with Ericsson now, we are going to
be a key conduit for bringing market leading cellular expertise to enterprise through a raſt of complimentary offerings enabling the very best of what the technology has to offer.
