There's a lot of innovation going on in the WAN these days. New strategies from a variety of network companies hold the promise of building better security, control and performance into regular broadband and LTE networks.
Cradlepoint is the latest vendor to announce its software-defined wide area network architecture. The Cradlepoint NetCloud platform enables software-defined and cloud-based wired and wireless broadband networks for branch, mobile and IoT.
Cradlepoint is known for providing wireless WANs utilizing 4G LTE. Last December the company acquired software-defined network specialist Pertino. The Cradlepoint NetCloud platform is based on the integration of Cradlepoint's Enterprise Cloud Manager platform for management and zero-touch deployment of its 4G LTE-enabled routers and M2M/IoT gateways with Pertino's Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform that leverages cloud, software-defined networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technologies. The result is a next generation network architecture.
