Previous wording

Our Lighthouse platform in the enterprise market is a carrier‑grade, high‑power 5G smart repeater designed to extend coverage and offload capacity for MNO and system integrators. Lighthouse supports rapid deployment and does not require wired backhaul, offering a cost‑effective alternative to small cells and distributed antenna systems (DAS) for coverage enhancement. Our NimbeLink embedded modems serve numerous enterprise IoT sectors that require cellular connectivity, including packaging, logistics, EV charging, smart buildings, agriculture, and self-service innovations. These NimbeLink cellular modems, which are both patented and end-device certified, minimize the need for additional OEM end-customer carrier certifications. Our asset tracking solutions are deployed across transportation, supply chain, and other specialized applications. Our enterprise IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) antennas are extensively deployed in diverse systems, products, and applications, including access points, gateways, FWA devices and utility meters.

2024, we completed the first commercial deployment of our second generation AirgainConnect® Fleet (AC-Fleet) system solution – a low profile, roof-mounted, all-in-one 5G vehicle gateway that provides 4G/5G cellular connectivity with built-in multi-profile eSIM, GNSS, Wi-Fi, and gigabit Ethernet router functionalities. We also offer a full line of external fleet antennas that are designed to be rugged, reliable, and flexible to meet almost any need. We design our products for performance, quality, and long product life, and our antennas connect to almost any vehicular router or modem. These antennas include high-performance and low-profile versions that mount on the roof, trunk, windshield, or dashboard and are optimized for 5G, 4G, Wi-Fi, and GNSS. On February 20, 2026, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the high-power user equipment (HPUE) product business from Nextivity. HPUE revenues are included in the automotive market.
