“We greatly appreciate the teamwork and strong partnership with Cradlepoint and are excited to be recognized as one of the first partners to achieve a NetCloud Private Networks Specialization designation,” said Ed Walton, CEO of STEP CG. “Receiving this specialization speaks to our extensive 5G experience and capabilities, helping customers embrace innovation and showing them how to integrate with existing networking technologies,” added Walton.

With NetCloud Private Networks, certified Cradlepoint channel partner can help enterprise customers quickly deploy a complete private cellular networks solution that includes: a proven Mobility Gateway (cellular core) that can be deployed on-site; plug-and-play indoor or outdoor LTE Cellular Access Points (CAPs) with future support for 5G; an integrated planning tool that helps map out the ideal location of CAPs; fixed site, mobile and IoT endpoints (User Equipment); and private SIMs with Cradlepoint’s SIM Management capability, allowing IT to deploy and manage private and public SIMs.
