SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of advanced wireless connectivity technologies and systems used to enable high performance networking across a broad range of devices and markets, today announced that it has been awarded the Andrew Seybold Award for Technology Innovation by the Public Safety Broadband Technology Association (PSBTA). The award was announced at the 10-Year Anniversary Celebration for FirstNet®, hosted by the PSBTA, the Public Safety Spectrum Alliance (PSSA), and All Things FirstNet. FirstNet® is the only nationwide wireless broadband communications network dedicated to America’s first responders and public safety community. It was created through legislation signed in 2012 by President Barack Obama and built out through a public-private partnership between the First Responder Network Authority and AT&T.
Airgain collaborated with FirstNet and AT&T to build one of the first devices to leverage its high performance user equipment (HPUE™) standard built for FirstNet® MegaRange™, which helps to improve coverage issues, whether at the edges of coverage or in dense urban environments. The AirgainConnect® AC-HPUE™ combines a rugged 6-in-1 outdoor antenna with an integrated HPUE LTE modem for maximum connectivity. It was launched in early 2021 and has been rolling out nationwide since. AirgainConnect AC-HPUE and its future derivatives represent a bold new platform that will serve both immediate and future connectivity needs of first responders.
“We are honored to receive this award from the PSBTA,” said Morad Sbahi, Senior Vice President of Global Product and Marketing at Airgain. “We believe that lives count on connecting and it is critical that our first responders and their equipment be able to stay connected at all times. We are grateful that our work with FirstNet and AT&T has been recognized by the industry and we will continue to focus on solving many of the connectivity issues that plague the industry now and in the future.”
