Overview:
When fiber is not an option or link diversity is needed
The W1855 Series 5G Wideband Adapter provides industry-leading Wireless WAN connectivity for optimal signal reception from outdoor installations on buildings and temporary sites that require high bandwidth, when fiber is not an option or link diversity is needed. Other use cases include high-performance cellular connections in SD-WAN, high-performance failover in medium-sized sites, and video broadcasts. This adapter uses a 3GPP Release 16 modem that includes the latest 5G standards.
Designed for fixed locations that require the higher performance of 5G and the flexibility of wireless, the outdoor Cradlepoint W1855-5GC Wideband Adapter ushers in the latest generation of wireless WAN networking. The W-Series is designed to accommodate the latest spectrums, recent innovations, and breadth of new technologies in 5G while delivering enterprise-class scalability standards, comprehensive management, and security.

High Performance Wideband
The W1855-5GC adapters are purpose-built for outdoor deployment in the high-performance low-, mid-band 5G spectrum. To address the tradeoff of lower propagation in the mid-band spectrum, Cradlepoint designed the W1855 Series outdoor adapter to be placed separately from the router for optimal signal reception. The stylized W1855-5GC adapter is less than half the size of the previous outdoor 5G adapter which makes installation easier.
Designed for Enterprise-Class Business
While the performance of 5G is top of mind, the W-Series was also designed with enterprise-class standards for high scalability, comprehensive management, and security. Representing the latest available 5G standards which are a collection of spectrum, technologies, and network infrastructure enhancements, the Cradlepoint 5G edge networking service and endpoints accommodate the diverse deployments of an organization with hundreds or even tens of thousands of sites.
Features/ Capabilities:
Carrier-Class Connectivity
Although each network operator conforms to 3GPP standards, they implement those standards differently to gain optimal efficiency and performance from their network. Additionally, software from modem manufacturers is designed to serve multiple operators within broad markets. The W-Series uses a customized software-defined modem, pre-programmed endpoints, and multilevel integrity testing to predict vulnerable connections and deliver carrier-class connectivity.
5G Spectrum Solutions
The W1855 5GC Series supports low- and mid-band 5G spectrum ensuring that organizations have access to the 5G layers that are most widely used globally. These layers offer a balance of speed, capacity, coverage, and propagation that works with bandwidth-intensive and latency-sensitive use cases.
Support for a Full Range of Cellular Technologies
Cradlepoint 5G solutions support all cellular generations, from 4G LTE to Gigabit-Class LTE to 5G — with the ability to gracefully transition tens of thousands of sites between generations as technology becomes available in individual locations.
Complete Lifecycle Management
Cradlepoint 5G solutions help enterprises minimize complexity from installation to troubleshooting with tools and features such as the mobile installation application, the captive modem feature, 5G tools demonstrate 5G service value, and Out-of-Band Management.
Intelligent Hybrid WAN Connectivity
Cradlepoint 5G solutions deliver effortless wireless endpoint management in a “wired-first SD-WAN” environment and provides all-in-one capabilities (routing, embedded wireless, and foundational SD-WAN) in a “wireless-first SD-WAN” deployment.

* Cellular carriers and operators throughout the world may only require telecom industry certifications, like PTCRB or GCF, to operate on their network. Some carriers require additional testing and approval, beyond telecom certifications, to operate on their network. A carrier listed in the approvals section means Cradlepoint completed additional testing and acquired technical approval for that given carrier. Any carrier not listed may not require additional testing or approval beyond telecom industry certifications to operate on their network.
