Airgain chosen as the antenna technology
partner for next generation dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax)
gateway
Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of advanced
antenna technologies used to enable high performance wireless
networking across a broad range of devices and markets, including
consumer, enterprise, and automotive, today announced it has been
chosen to provide embedded antenna technology for a major North
American tier one operator’s first product launch of a Wi-Fi 6
(IEEE 802.11ax) enabled dual-band gateway. Production orders were
shipped in Q2-2020 for the multi-gigabit wireless gateway and the
Company expects shipments to ramp to full production run rate by
Q4-2020.
The next generation gateway utilizes an advanced and highly
customized embedded antenna solution, supporting dual-band 4x4
2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 enabled radios, plus support for Bluetooth
and Zigbee. Airgain’s embedded antenna solution outperformed
competing solutions in terms of optimized throughput and coverage
performance, enabling carrier grade in-home connectivity. The
wireless system design allows the flagship Wi-Fi 6 gateway to
achieve a higher level of performance, delivering multi-gigabit
speeds for a more robust and seamless experience to the tier one
operator’s subscriber base.
“We are delighted to have been awarded this flagship program, a
testament to our leadership in the carrier grade Wi-Fi space that
is presently under an accelerated refresh cycle from Wi-Fi 5 to
Wi-Fi 6,” said Bill Swafford, Airgain’s Vice President of Sales,
North America. “We believe this program win signifies the
confidence that both the tier one operator and their selected OEM
have in Airgain’s ability to consistently enable the optimal
carrier grade Wi-Fi performance for in-home smart devices. This
program is significant for Airgain in terms of volume, with annual
demands projected to reach a run rate of up to two million devices
per year by the end of 2020, each with seven Airgain antennas. We
are proud of the innovation that went into this Wi-Fi 6 design and
look forward to growing our relationships with both the tier one
operator and the carrier.”
