Public safety and other frontline emergency services organizations can also purchase Cradlepoint FirstNet Ready™ wireless routers with a FirstNet® service data plan.

The current global health crisis has highlighted the growing need for agile, versatile, and rapidly deployable wireless WAN solutions within many industry segments, including healthcare, education, distribution, financial services, and public safety. According to IDC’s latest annual wireless router forecast, which measures the growth of enterprise cellular routers and gateways, the combined market for branch, mobile, and IoT wireless routers and gateways will reach $2.98 billion by 2024.

“In recent months, we have witnessed more businesses and public safety agencies than ever deploying wireless WAN solutions on AT&T LTE networks in response to the global health crisis,” said Robert Boyanovsky, VP, Enterprise Mobility, AT&T Business. “This surge in demand underscores the agility, flexibility, and speed of deployment that only wireless can deliver. It also provides validation of our expanded relationship with Cradlepoint that will make it easier for customers to acquire end-to-end wireless WAN solutions from AT&T.”
