As today’s businesses seek to digitally transform themselves to seamlessly facilitate the new normal in remote and flexible work arrangements—not to mention changing customer expectations--wireless technology plays a pivotal role. No matter the size, successful businesses are increasingly turning to 5G connectivity to untether locations, assets and people, and to adjust to rapidly changing business conditions without the hassle or limitations of hardwired connections.

AT&T recently unveiled a new plug-and-play offering for business customers that makes it easy for them to set up quick wireless connectivity where wired connections are unavailable, costly to deploy, or require long lead times. AT&T Managed Wireless WAN is a work-from-anywhere powerhouse that puts Cradlepoint 5G wideband modem hardware in the hands of businesses without burdening them with the management or upfront infrastructure costs to run it.

AT&T monitors and manages the Cradlepoint hardware, maintains the equipment and licensing, and provides it all for a fixed monthly fee.  AT&T Managed Wireless WAN can connect any number of endpoints, located virtually anywhere.
It provides high quality Internet access to support a wide variety of uses. It also gives you the ability to have internet access without relying on a local carrier to deliver a circuit.
