With modems and antenna-modems from Assured Wireless Corporation and Airgain, FirstNet MegaRange can be used either standalone to directly connect with devices like laptops, tablets, and hotspots, or in connection with mobile and fixed modems and routers from Digi, Sierra Wireless, and Cradlepoint.
What’s the news? FirstNet, Built with AT&T* – America’s public safety network – is driving innovation in lifesaving, public safety technology. Now, first responders have access to 4 new mission-driven solutions exclusively available to all FirstNet subscribers: FirstNet® MegaRange™…
MegaRange currently is available only to FirstNet users that use the Assured Wireless AW12 HPUE modem or the AirgainConnect AC-HPUE antenna-modem that integrates the Assured Wireless chip into an efficient antenna form factor. But other equipment providers could leverage MegaRange in the future, Agnew said.
Today, two companies are shipping MegaRange™ products that have been fully approved by FirstNet (Built with AT&T). The first is Assured Wireless, which has been developing its high-power products for the past four or five years. The second is Airgain with its AirgainConnect vehicular antenna solution. The AirgainConnect system builds on an Assured Wireless Module that is built directly into the antenna.
GetWireless, LLC, a value-added distributor of the Airgain family of products, today announced the stock and availability of the newest product, AirgainConnect AC-HPUE, built for FirstNet® MegaRange™, which is now available for sale and deployment to public safety agencies and organizations on FirstNet, Built with AT&T – America’s public safety network.

Their high-performance, low-profile antennas are designed for many wireless standards and frequencies, including LTE, and 5G cellular MIMO, WiFi 6, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and GPS/GNSS.
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.
