Vector Security® Networks Achieves Cradlepoint 5G for Enterprise Branch Specialization, Broadening Cellular Connectivity Offerings to its Customers

PITTSBURGH, September 5, 2024 – Vector Security^® Networks, a division of Vector Security^®, Inc., and the single-source provider of physical security solutions and managed network services to multi-site businesses across North America, has achieved 5G for Enterprise Branch Specialization from Cradlepoint, the global leader in cloud-delivered LTE and 5G wireless network edge solutions.

The 5G for Enterprise Branch Specialization recognizes Vector Security Networks as a leader in positioning and selling Cradlepoint’s 5G for business solutions by meeting a series of sales, technical and business proficiency criteria. Vector Security Networks joins a select group of companies that have achieved this designation.

With this specialization, Vector Security Networks is able to provide a broader, more flexible range of indoor and outdoor wireless connectivity solutions by leveraging Cradlepoint’s 5G solutions for primary and/or backup connectivity options for all customer locations and environments, and simplify and streamline implementations at customer sites.

“As more and more customers look to 5G cellular for their primary or failover connectivity needs, this specialization allows Vector Security Networks to provide a broader set of offerings, especially in areas where wireline connectivity options are limited,” said Darrell Epps, Product Director for Vector Security Networks. “These options also provide for more expeditious, flexible solutions compared to connectivity using traditional landlines.”

Bill Phillips, Sr. Director of Network Operations, Vector Security Networks added, “"VSN is at the forefront of innovation in emerging connectivity markets, delivering advanced solutions that capitalize on the latest 5G trends. After rigorous evaluation, we have integrated Cradlepoint/Ericsson 5G for Enterprise Branch adapters into our offerings, enabling us to leverage the full potential of 5G infrastructure. With our proven delivery model and unparalleled network engineering expertise, VSN now empowers our customers with exceptional connectivity for their branch locations, ensuring they achieve superior performance and competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving landscape."

To achieve Cradlepoint’s 5G for Enterprise Branch Specialization, Vector Security Networks completed all required training and certifications to ensure sales and technical skills qualification, procured lab gear and constructed a lab environment for testing and customer demonstration purposes.

“Cradlepoint is committed to leading the evolution of Wireless WAN and 5G and is both the first and best choice for customers in this space,” said Jackie Anderson, Vice President of North America Partner Sales at Cradlepoint. “Our reseller, service provider and technology partners play a crucial role in this mission.
