Cradlepoint’s CBA850 failover and Out-of-Band Management platform with Enterprise Cloud Manager (ECM) PRIME were awarded for their ability to provide instant, always-on connectivity for enterprises across any business vertical. The Compass Intelligence Award program represents the best and finest in the mobile and wireless industry. Cradlepoint demonstrated excellence in helping enterprises ensure critical network uptime through the combination of secure cloud access with best-in-class failover, 4G LTE networking and unique Out-of-Band Management capabilities.

“Cradlepoint demonstrates the qualities we attribute to top networking solution providers. The company understands the needs of its customers and provides technology to address the demands of modern networking environments. We are pleased to award Cradlepoint with our Cellular Network Company of the Year Award,” said Keith Robinson, senior strategist and consultant for Compass Intelligence.

Cradlepoint meets the ever-changing and unique networking needs of its enterprise customers, including those in retail, transportation, government, healthcare, public safety and education. The CBA850 with ECM empowers network administrators to maximize infrastructure investments with a cloud-delivered automatic secondary path to access and control the network across all locations when a primary router goes down. Businesses can instantaneously configure, troubleshoot and manage the network over 4G LTE. As a result, downtime and maintenance costs are minimized while ensuring business continuity and efficient network operations.

“Enterprises needs are changing as more devices are connected to the network and cloud and IoT strategies are deployed. The ability to provide always-on connectivity is paramount and businesses are looking for ways to complement and augment their existing WAN infrastructure with speed, ease and agility. Cradlepoint is continuously advancing its portfolio of software-defined solutions to make reliable, scalable and secure enterprise connectivity easier,” said Ian Pennell, CMO of Cradlepoint. “This award from Compass Intelligence is an honor and affirmation of the high standards we hold for ourselves and our technology.”
