Federated Wireless Selects Amazon Web Services as its Preferred Cloud Provider to Deliver New 4G/5G Private Wireless Managed Networks for U.S. EnterprisesCitizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) pioneer Federated Wireless (News - Alert) today announced delivery of a new Connectivity-as-a-Service offering that lets U.S. enterprises buy and deploy private 4G and 5G networks with a single click in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (News - Alert) (AWS). These end-to-end managed services developed and provided by Federated Wireless, leveraging AWS, include discovery, planning, design, build, operation and support, enabling enterprises to reap the benefits of 5G with strong security and minimum risk and capital expenditure.
