Technical Workshops


Join us 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. on March 15 for a series of in-depth workshops. Each session will provide you the opportunity to hear from and interact with Cradlepoint subject matter experts. Three optional workshops are available.


Technical Aspects of Extensibility 
NetCloud Service and Cradlepoint endpoints can access network data that third-party applications need to provide higher levels of insights and control.  Extensibility is about automation and customization.  If you are looking to integrate NetCloud data into your back-office systems, simplify/automate customer installations, create flexible/dynamic device configurations, or bring your third-party applications directly onto the Cradlepoint endpoint this session will show you examples of how Cradlepoint Partners & Customers use the Extensibility options today.  Topics include NetCloud Manager API, NCOS SDK, and Docker Container Support.

MSP Technical Best Practices
More and more companies are looking externally for someone to manage their network devices and connectivity. This presents a great opportunity for additional revenue for partners. Providing those managed network services requires knowledge and planning to deliver the best possible customer experience while being profitable doing it. Join this session to learn many of the technical best practices for managing Cradlepoint WWAN solutions as a Managed Service Provider. Topics will include initial considerations, NCM design, device configuration & management, lifecycle management, and useful tools.

5G Specialization Technical Best Practices
What’s the big deal about 5G, it’s just one more G than 4G, right? Come to this session if you want to hear more about what Cradlepoint is doing to help our partners around the 5G specialization.  If you are looking to become a 5G Enterprise Branch Specialized partner or even if you are already one, come join us to find out some of the tips and tricks you need to be aware of when setting up your 5G lab. We will have a discussion around some of the use cases we have seen as well as things that you need to understand as the partner and things you will need to make sure that your customers understand as well.  This will be an interactive session, so bring your questions and stories with you!
