Enterprise Wireless

Every site is unique and the investment will differ dependent on the characteristics of each location. However, the typical costs associated with an Enterprise Wireless Cradlepoint solution include:

1. Site Feasibility Assessment

A technician will attend the site to test the viability of the mobile signal at the location, quantifying any line-of-sight barriers, and determining whether an external antenna will be required. The technician will also prepare a bill of materials itemising hardware required and and providing an installation quotation. For most urban and regional sites, the cost of this service is $350 incGST.  Remote locations will likely attract a higher fee.

2. Hardware 

These typically include a Cradlepoint LTE/5G router or 5G adapter with 1, 3 or 5 year licensing subscription; external directional antenna if required, installation fittings, and cabling. These costs generally range from $3,000-$5,000.

3. Device Configuration

MobileCorp engineers will configure the Cradlepoint router/adapter and set up a NetCloud instance before shipping the device to site. The fee for this professional service is $390.

4. Installation

This cost is very dependent on the characteristics of each site and will usually range upwards from $4,000. Pricing variables include

• where the router/adapter will be installed. This is most often on the roofline and accessibility to the roof can impact costs if  a cherry picker is required.
• the distance from the router/adapter to the comms room. This will determine cabling and labour costs.
• site accessibility and whether the work can be completed during business hours. This will impact labour costs.
• any heritage listing which may impact where the hardware can be installed and may impact labour costs.

5. Enterprise Wireless carriage service

Cradlepoint devices have dual SIM functionality. Telstra Enterprise Wireless plans provide shared data with an Epic plan as one example providing 50G of data  at a cost of $50 per month. Add-on top up data packs are available up to 3,000GB.

6. Cloud Management

MobileCorp offers an Enterprise Wireless managed service which includes a Sydney-based Technical Service Desk with automated ticketing systems and SLAs, 24/7 monitoring and alerts, remote out-of-band device management and troubleshooting, device hot swap program, and licensing management. The cost of this managed service is $190 per month, per device. Flexible pricing is available for Government and NFPs.
