In an effort to keep branch, mobile and IoT networks safer and
uninterrupted, Tech

— an industry leader in cloud-delivered, low-latency 4G LTE and 5G
cellular networking solutions for business and government organizations
— to distribute the company’s NetCloud
Solution Packages to Cradlepoint-authorized resellers in the U.S.
These new packages simplify how to buy, consume, evolve and support edge
networks. Cradlepoint solutions will provide Tech Data partners enhanced
wireless networking capabilities that easily support technologies like
IoT and 5G.
“Cradlepoint delivers a state-of-the-art solution for agile, pervasive

“Tech Data’s extensive reach and breadth of as-a-service options, such
