As I was writing some comments on social media the other day I had to go back and look at the legislation that brought us FirstNet and the requirement that FirstNet be built using commercial standards. That entire section was very purposeful at the time and today it has worked out to the benefit of public safety.
Axon (Nasdaq: AXON), the global leader in connected public safety technologies, today announced that its next generation Fleet 3 in-car video system is now shipping to customers. Built from the ground up with ethics in mind, the in-car video system features Axon’s AI-powered ALPR service along with real-time situational awareness through Axon Respond for Devices, fundamentally raising the bar on what agencies should expect from in-car video systems. Axon has partnered with industry leaders Flock Safety, Cradlepoint, and Airgain to make the Fleet 3 solution a reality.

Over the past 3 years, Axon has been working tirelessly to deliver a breakthrough in-car camera solution for public safety: Axon Fleet 3. As of this week, we are proud to announce that after a series of incredibly successful beta trials, Fleet 3 is now shipping to customers in the US and Canada.
And as the 2021 wildfire season continues to escalate, we’ve joined forces with Airgain to provide public safety with significant cost savings and make this exclusive capability more accessible to agencies across the country.
AT&T is also focused on boosting the use of HPUE, which extends the range of network coverage in FirstNet’s Band 14 spectrum and is particularly useful in rural and hard-to-reach urban areas such as basements and stairwells, where signal strength can be low. It has branded its FirstNet HPUE tech as “FirstNet MegaRange” and last week launched a new promotion with Airgain for its AirgainConnect AC-HPUE LTE antenna modem, with a $400 discount on the equipment and $800 in FirstNet service credits. The promo is only available in certain states; you can read the fine print here.
Public safety agencies are able to be more connected at the network edge with Airgain partnership. When every second counts, connectivity for first responders is critical. It is imperative no matter where they are within their districts that they should be able to contact assistance, information, send data, and record video. Cradlepoint has long been a trusted provider of in-vehicle routers to link responders to their lifelines. Now, Cradlepoint and Airgain have announced a partnership to provide the best in performance for these personnel at the edge of network coverage or in tough coverage areas to maintain reliable, seamless, and secure network access.
Read how the ULTRAMAX GLASS antenna helped turn Platform Science’s fleet vehicles into IoT hubs through high performance connectivity and support for MIMO LTE, GPS, and Wi-Fi. Airgain helped deliver reliable communications of critical information and supported edge computing for real time monitoring of key metrics.
Read how the Bangs Ambulance saw significant improvement in connectivity after switching to FirstNet, and even greater coverage after installing AirgainConnect. Bangs Ambulance experienced an increase in connectivity which helped close its coverage gap to stay connected during 99.8% of miles traveled.
