Cisco and AT&T have unveiled a sophisticated digital purchasing platform designed to streamline and expedite the process for businesses to leverage 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA). This initiative enhances operational efficiency and provides seamless access to advanced 5G FWA capabilities, empowering businesses to rapidly integrate cutting-edge wireless technology into their infrastructure.
For businesses looking to quickly extend connectivity across diverse campus and branch office environments, Cisco’s newest line of cellular gateways, the Meraki MG52 and MG52E, are the first true-5G, Standalone (SA) capable, discreet FWA devices to offer cloud-managed eSIM technology powered by Cisco IoT Control Center. Available this summer, the new devices are paired exclusively with an integrated wireless WAN service experience and zero-touch, instant-on provisioning from AT&T, customers can simply plug the device into power and provision AT&T’s 5G connectivity through the Cisco Meraki dashboard.
The new Cisco cloud-managed FWA devices can scale robust, always-on, highly secure 5G connected experiences nationwide* making it simpler for businesses to take advantage of:
- Increased operational efficiency with scalable and flexible management
- Minimized downtime and disruptions with seamless, resilient network performance
- Greater return on investment with long-lasting, durably designed FWA devices
- Flexibility to deploy in difficult-to-reach locations
- Ability to deploy branch sites within minutes with instant-on, built-in AT&T 5G connectivity
With a complimentary 30-day introductory period, businesses can reduce deployment times for branch connectivity through self-service purchasing of AT&T data plans directly from the Cisco Meraki dashboard. Instant-on data from AT&T will also allow for immediate provisioning of full-stack Cisco networks to accelerate “day zero” operations.
“Together with Cisco, we are making it faster and easier than ever for companies to reimagine their networks and conduct business with next-level connectivity,” said Mike Troiano, Senior Vice President, Product and Pricing, AT&T Business. “This offer is yet another way we are demonstrating our commitment to simplifying business challenges and enhancing the end user experience.”
“As businesses continue to digitize their operations and connect more people, places, and things to the network, digital resiliency will continue to rise in importance,” said Jonathan Davidson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Cisco Networking. “AT&T and Cisco share a vision to help businesses simplify operations so they can spend less time worrying about connectivity and security and focus on delivering unified experiences their customers can rely on.”
AT&T FWA is available nationwide. Instant-on, zero-touch provisioning is limited to USA and select countries. To learn more about Cisco 5G FWA, visit the website here.
