Harmonize SD-WAN and 5G for optimization of traffic flows

SD-WAN has helped many businesses improve network performance, simplify management, and reduce costs in fixed site and hybrid work environments. But even the best technologies must evolve. Next up? SD-WAN must move beyond wired-centric features to accommodate the proliferation of technologies in vehicles, stores, offices, and IoT — all interconnected by 5G. With Cradlepoint’s zero trust SD-WAN, enterprises can deploy a simpler, more secure SD-WAN solution that amplifies the 5G experience and simplifies the transition from wired to Wireless WAN.

Deploy and manage SD-WAN without the headaches

Set up, manage, and troubleshoot your SD-WAN solution quickly and efficiently. Create application-based policies that can be applied across thousands of heterogenous devices in just a few clicks.  Support overlapping IP addresses with ease.

Use an SD-WAN solution built for 5G

Use SD-WAN to optimize traffic across dual modems, hybrid WANs, and soon network slices. Take advantage of an SD-WAN solution that preserves bandwidth, integrates Cellular Intelligence, and considers cellular-centric attributes when steering traffic.

Visualize the performance of your applications

Easily view the performance of the applications your users rely on and gain a historical reference of how performance changes over time. Then drill down to see how performance varies between individual SaaS data centers.

Have zero trust built in, not bolted on

By limiting the attack surface, helping  to prevent lateral movements, and ensuring no implicit trust, this zero trust architecture is the perfect foundation to your next-generation SD-WAN solution.

Create an indestructible WAN for critical communications

Through the intelligent bonding of multiple WAN connections, business critical traffic flows can be duplicated across two connections, ensuring no impact during brownout or failures.

Extend beyond just fixed sites

In addition to supporting fixed site locations, Cradlepoint SD-WAN is also well suited to mobile end points such as vehicles.  

Diverse, enterprise-grade SD-WAN features

Designed for a lean IT staff with little time for complex set-up and troubleshooting, NCX SD-WAN enables you to:

  • Simplify management of multiple WAN connections (wired, cellular, satellite, and Wi-Fi as WAN)
  • Steer applications based on signal strength, latency, jitter, and data usage
  • Improve application quality of experience over lossy connections with Forward Error correction.
  • Apply a single application-based policy network-wide
  • Gain granular visibility into application performance

SD-WAN technology meets 5G​

  • Support for application-based traffic steering across multiple LTE Packet Data Networks (PDNs) and multiple 5G standalone network slices (once available)
  • Consideration of cellular attributes such as available bandwidth and data usage when steering traffic
  • Preservation of bandwidth by using inline traffic to measure WAN performance
  • Integration of Cellular Intelligence to provide better insights and visibility of the 5G network

Cradlepoint is recognized as a Leader and an Outperformer on the GigaOm Radar Report for SD-WAN
