NetMotion†and†Cradlepoint†announced†a†technology alliance†relationship†that†will give†customers†in public safety, transportation, healthcare, utilities and†other†mobile workforce-oriented†industries†access to the companies’ complementary†and interoperable†range of best-in-class†network†solutions, allowing them to deploy†quickly and†with†complete†confidence.†Combining Cradlepoint’s strengths in cloud-delivered wireless edge networks†and†NetMotion’s†full suite of mobile connectivity, analytics and operational intelligence solutions, the†world’s†rapidly†growing mobile workforce will have access to†integrated,†always-on, always protected, always optimized connections that help improve†everything from†productivity†and user experience†to†safety and†security.†
A majority†of†first responders in North America†have†already†deployed†solutions from Cradlepoint, NetMotion, or both,†with a†combined international footprint†that is†rapidly expanding.†With 5G technology†promising to be an enormous†catalyst for†the continued†growth†of†mobility, Cradlepoint and NetMotion are†ideally positioned to help†first responders†and other mobile†workforces quickly and reliably establish a persistent network connection that is fast†and†secure†while†enabling†an exceptional user experience.†††
“We can’t afford to compromise when it comes to public safety,” said Adrian Hutchinson, superintendent, Mobile Technology, London Metropolitan Police Service. “That’s why we’ve invested in solutions from Cradlepoint and NetMotion that ensure fast, efficient, reliable and secure communications with our officers at critical times, allowing them to spend more time†on the streets†helping and protecting the public. We’re changing the game in the way we fight crime and bring offenders to justice, making our community and our officers safer as a result.”†
“Perhaps†no other mobile workforce is more dependent on†fast,†resilient†and secure†wireless†connectivity†for†their†productivity and safety than†first responders,” said†Donna†Johnson,†vice president of Product and Solutions Marketing†at Cradlepoint. “This is the catalyst behind our†alliance†with†NetMotion, the recognized leader in†software-based†mobile performance and operational intelligence solutions†for the public safety market.†Together, we are providing integration and interoperability†between†our†network services†so†that†first responders†have†a†mission-critical†in-vehicle†network†they can rely†on†for fast and reliable†application†connectivity†when they need it most.”†
“Over the last decade, we’ve witnessed incredible†demand for†mobility products that improve the user experience, especially†in†fields such as†public safety and†mass transit,” said Christopher Kenessey, chief executive officer at NetMotion.†”Now, with the help of Cradlepoint’s†incredibly†powerful NetCloud services,†NetMotion’s†Mobility solution†works†hand in hand†to†meet†the needs of an exploding mobile†worker market. This partnership†will enable†NetMotion to†significantly†expand its customer base, particularly in industries where in-vehicle solutions are required.”†
As the workforce becomes increasingly mobile,†Cradlepoint NetCloud and†NetMotion Mobility provide†an optimized, always-on†platform†with†enhanced features that give end-users†rapid,†seamless transitions between available†WiFi and cellular†networks, unique data compression, optimization and more.†Meanwhile,†IT teams gain†valuable†visibility into network conditions even outside the organization’s firewalls,†enabling dynamic†prioritization†of traffic to enhance business-critical applications. The solutions also make it possible to†identify†mobile†performance issues, monitor application usage trends, and monitor data consumption and cost.
