The networking needs of a digital enterprise are shifting to ensure anytime, anywhere connectivity to reliably and securely interconnect their people, places, and things. The notion of a universal wireless network for enterprise blurs the lines between historical local area and wide area network boundaries. But can the highly vouched 5G cellular network – public or private - truly replace LAN and WAN solutions used by enterprises for decades? Even if it is, are CIOs prepared to make a shift? Let’s find out.
Our guest for today’s podcast is Todd Krautkremer, Chief Marketing Officer at Cradlepoint. He also recently took the reins to lead the Enterprise Wireless Solutions group at Ericsson. Todd has more than 30 years of experience within startup, early-stage, and growth-stage companies focused on wired and wireless networking, security, and cloud technologies. Prior to Cradlepoint, he was CMO at Pertino, a software-defined cloud networking company that was acquired by Cradlepoint in 2015.
My goal for our discussion today is to uncover a few things, such as:
How do private cellular networks intersect with enterprise-wide area networks?
- What are the costs, quality, and business value trade-offs that influence decisions to adopt cellular technology for enterprise connectivity?
- When will private 5G, fixed wireless access, and wireless WAN come close to gaining mass-market acceptance?
- How will the nature of managed services change to meet the wireless connectivity needs of different verticals?
- How should CIOs prepare to become a wireless-first enterprise?
So, without further ado, let us welcome Todd Krautkremer.
