Ep # 35: Is Private 5G the New LAN and WAN for Enterprise? - with Todd Krautkremer, Cradlepoint
09/15/22 • 33 min
The networking needs of a digital enterprise are shifting to ensure anytime, anywhere connectivity to reliably and securely interconnect their people, places, and things. The notion of a universal wireless network for enterprise blurs the lines between historical local area and wide area network boundaries. But can the highly vouched 5G cellular network – public or private - truly replace LAN and WAN solutions used by enterprises for decades? Even if it is, are CIOs prepared to make a shift? Let’s find out.
Our guest for today’s podcast is Todd Krautkremer, Chief Marketing Officer at Cradlepoint. He also recently took the reins to lead the Enterprise Wireless Solutions group at Ericsson. Todd has more than 30 years of experience within startup, early-stage, and growth-stage companies focused on wired and wireless networking, security, and cloud technologies. Prior to Cradlepoint, he was CMO at Pertino, a software-defined cloud networking company that was acquired by Cradlepoint in 2015.
My goal for our discussion today is to uncover a few things, such as:
How do private cellular networks intersect with enterprise-wide area networks?
- What are the costs, quality, and business value trade-offs that influence decisions to adopt cellular technology for enterprise connectivity?
- When will private 5G, fixed wireless access, and wireless WAN come close to gaining mass-market acceptance?
- How will the nature of managed services change to meet the wireless connectivity needs of different verticals?
- How should CIOs prepare to become a wireless-first enterprise?
So, without further ado, let us welcome Todd Krautkremer.

Ep # 34: Is Cellular Mesh the New Backbone for Scalable Private 5G Networks? - with Matt Musial, GenXComm
The widespread use of digital devices and applications raises the need for pervasive cellular coverage. However, the existing private cellular networks are not sufficiently scalable and economical to extend in dynamically changing indoor and outdoor enterprise environments. New network architectures are needed to deal with unique enterprise use cases and increase coverage and capacity without dependency on the underlying infrastructure. Are cellular mesh networks the answer to this challenge? Let's find out!
Our guest for the podcast is Matt Musial, Solutions Director at GenXComm. He has over 25+ years of experience providing complex IoT, security, and wireless solutions to customers in industrial, DoD, SLED, and service provider markets.
In today's discussion, we will explore some important topics such as:
-Do broadband wireless networks have adequate capacity for the needs of advanced applications like massive machine-type communications?
-Can CBRS private networks provide adequate capacity and resilience for high volumes of data?
-What are the implications of mesh networks for costs, capacity, resilience, and security?
-What are the early use cases of mesh networks?

Ep # 36: How Secure is Our Data? - with Nancy Wang, Amazon Web Services
Telecommunication networks never stop evolving, moving in less than 15 years from 3G to LTE to 5G, and having our data move from on-site to the cloud and to the edge. But what does this mean for the security of our data? With the rising adoption of connected devices & applications, enterprises are at a greater risk of data breaches, ransomware, and new types of attacks. How should CIOs rethink security, and what choices do they have? Let’s find out.
Our guest for today’s podcast is Nancy Wang, General Manager for Amazon’s Data Protection and Governance, where she oversees P&L, product, engineering, and design. Before AWS, Nancy worked at Rubrik as the Head of Cloud SaaS products, as well as at Google and Deloitte. Nancy is also the founder of Advancing Women in Tech, an organization that trains and coaches women to be leaders in tech. The organization has grown to over 16,000 members in only five years.
Briefly, she has extensive experience in the data security field and brings unique perspectives to new technology adoptions.
In our discussion today, we will uncover a few things, such as:
The changing landscape of cloud & edge and how it impacts data security
Will 5G add a new dynamic to the cloud and edge security?
How has data security changed over the years?
How should CIOs of wireless-first enterprises think about security? and last but not the least
The growing role of women in technical leadership roles.
So, let us welcome Nancy Wang.
