Cradlepoint — wireless-first SD-WAN for the sites where wired connectivity isn't an option.

Cradlepoint is an LTE/5G edge SD-WAN specialist — wireless-first networking for branch sites, vehicles, and remote locations, with strong pairing for satellite links like Starlink. For multi-location organizations where running fiber to every site is impractical or too slow to deploy, the question is cellular and satellite connectivity managed as proper SD-WAN. That edge is where Cradlepoint lives.

What Cradlepoint actually does.

Cradlepoint delivers wireless edge SD-WAN — cellular LTE and 5G connectivity, often paired with satellite links such as Starlink, managed as a real SD-WAN fabric rather than a stack of standalone modems. The differentiator is the edge profile: branch locations, in-vehicle networks, pop-up and remote sites where wired transport is impractical, slow to provision, or simply unavailable. Where wired carriers stop, Cradlepoint's wireless-first model begins.

Capabilities · A short list

Who this fits.

Best Fit

Multi-location with LTE/5G or remote sites

Organizations with many branches, vehicles, or remote locations where cellular and satellite connectivity is the practical answer.

Strong Fit

Teams needing rapid or temporary deployment

If you stand up pop-up sites, fleets, or locations faster than wired circuits can be provisioned, wireless-first is the value.

Mixed Fit

Enterprises wanting cellular failover only

If wireless is just backup to a wired global WAN, a carrier like Lumen with integrated managed SD-WAN may cover both in one contract.

Less Likely

Global enterprises replacing wired MPLS

If the brief is migrating a wired global estate off MPLS, GTT's managed global network and MPLS-replacement focus is the right shape.
