DENVER, CO, Big 5G Event — August 30, 2021 — Cradlepoint¸ the global leader in cloud-delivered LTE and 5G wireless network edge solutions, today has expanded its AT&T 5G for Enterprise solutions with the certification of its outdoor W4005 Wideband Adapter for millimeter wave (high-band) connections on the AT&T 5G+ network. The W4005 joins the portfolio of 5G for Enterprise solutions for branch and mobile use cases announced in May 2021. The AT&T 5G+ network is expected to cover parts of over 40 cities and 40 venues by the end of this year.
