Wireless WAN: Unlock Enterprise Agility at the Network Edge
Your wired WAN can't support today's mobile-first enterprise. With cloud adoption accelerating, more employees working remotely and business operations shifting beyond the traditional branch, wired networks are struggling to keep up. Enterprises now need flexible, resilient, location-agnostic access to business-critical systems. That's where Wireless WAN (WWAN) comes in. Built on SD-WAN, LTE and 5G, WWAN gives network leaders a new way to connect people, places and things with no trenching and no waiting on local ISPs. Whether you're managing high site counts, bandwidth limitations, or temporary locations, this white paper from GTT and Cradlepoint introduces strategies to modernize connectivity with speed and confidence.
Inside, you'll explore 3 practical approaches
Enhance Failover Reliability Use wireless links as secondary paths to maintain availability when primary wires fail. With added out-of-band access, IT teams can resolve outages remotely, with no truck rolls or delays.
Augment Bandwidth On-Demand Wireless links can expand throughput instantly. Whether handling peak traffic or segmenting applications like guest Wi-Fi and point-of-sale, LTE and 5G help maintain smooth performance.
Use Wireless as the Primary Link For sites where wires are impractical (mobile locations, temporary builds, or high-density deployments) WWAN offers rapid, scalable connectivity that’s easy to standardize and centrally manage.
Industries from retail to finance are deploying these strategies to simplify branch operations, speed up rollout and avoid ISP sprawl. One enterprise used wireless to isolate new digital signage without touching core infrastructure which saves time and reduces risk.
Together, GTT and Cradlepoint bring globally managed SD-WAN, LTE/5G edge technology and real-world experience to enterprise WWAN. This paper shares how organizations integrate wireless into their core WAN strategy securely and at scale.
