Westbase.io is the most experienced Cradlepoint distributor in the UK and Europe, and we will work with you to understand your business and opportunities. By tailoring our range of partner support services to you, we can help you to successfully add the 5G W series to your portfolio.

Unveiling the second-generation 5G product portfolio was definitely an event highlight for all partners who attended the Cradlepoint Global Partner Summit; Cradlepoint promised that the event would “turn up the bandwidth” and seeing the full 5G range for the first time delivered on this. Spanning low to mmWave solutions across a range of external adapters and integrated routers, the Cradlepoint 5G portfolio delivers a clean-slate design to support the full speed and capabilities of 5G.

As digital transformation continues to accelerate the adoption of cloud, mobile and IoT technologies, business demand for Wireless WAN is rapidly growing and is predicted to approach a $3.0B market potential by 2024 according to IDC. With shipping of the Cradlepoint 5G portfolio commencing globally this month, and rolling out fully over the next year, Cradlepoint partners are in a prime position to take advantage of this opportunity.

W Series 5G Wideband Adapters

Providing an Ethernet-remotable 5G modem and antenna system, the W Series adapters support the entire 5G spectrum for ultimate deployment flexibility. The adapters can be paired with another Cradlepoint or a third-party router and the series consists of:

• W2005 outdoor unit for low-band and mid-band 5G deployments, available to pre-order now from Westbase.io with stock expected in the coming weeks.*
• W2000 indoor unit for low-band and mid-band 5G deployments, available to order now from Westbase.io for immediate proof of concept and early implementations.
• W1850 indoor unit is the production-optimised version of the W2000, designed for widespread deployments. General availability is currently expected in Q3.
• W4005 outdoor unit for mmWave, fibre-fast connections, not yet available outside North America.*

* The W2005 and W4005 requires that the partner has completed their Cradlepoint 5G for Enterprise Branch Specialisation to sell these solutions.
