Premier Airgain+Sierra Wireless Bundle
AirgainConnect AC-HPUE is Airgain’s new integrated antenna-modem
platform that combines an integrated antenna system and LTE modem
inside of a single rooftop enclosure, designed for easy
installation while meeting the demanding connectivity needs of
public safety, fleet, and enterprise vehicles. By integrating the
modem within an antenna assembly, AirgainConnect’s patented
technology is capable of transmitting the maximum allowable
radiated power directly to the LTE antenna elements. When compared
to a conventional modem, AirgainConnect maximizes coverage,
building penetration, and throughput for critical communications
applications.
The bundled solutions can be ordered through Airgain’s and
Sierra Wireless’ trusted channel partners. To learn more about the
