CNI Sales, a premier reseller and integrator of networking solutions and services, today announced that it has achieved NetCloud Private Networks Specialization from Cradlepoint, the global leader in cloud-delivered LTE and 5G wireless network solutions. The NetCloud Private Networks Specialization identifies and recognizes partner organizations have become experts in Private Cellular Network deployments by meeting a series of sales, technical, and business proficiency criteria.
By receiving the specialization, CNI will support Cradlepoint’s efforts of selling the industry’s most comprehensive and seamless portfolio for private cellular deployments. CNI was an early adopter in this game-changing technology and has had great success with private cellular deployments over the last two years. CNI has solved connectivity problems for K-12, Higher Education, Warehousing, and Shipping Container Yard (CY) that could not be solved with Wi-Fi. CNI is excited to partner with Cradlepoint to solve customers’ connectivity challenges.
With NetCloud Private Networks, a 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.
“The demand for private cellular networks has quickly increased, but due to the significant cost, planning, and complexity, deployments have lagged,” said Eric Purcell, senior vice president of global partner sales at Cradlepoint. “By creating another world-class certification program for identified partners, Cradlepoint and these partners will be able to accelerate successful deployments and create a positive customer experience.”
