AC-Fleet™ equips utility crews with 5G cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity for daily operations and outage recovery.

Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of wireless connectivity solutions, today announced that one of the largest electric utility companies in mid-western United States has selected AirgainConnect® Fleet™ to enhance connectivity and communication across its line truck fleet.

As part of its fleet modernization strategy, the utility provider is deploying Airgain’s AC-Fleet in approximately one third of its service vehicles. The solution provides a rugged, integrated 5G vehicle gateway that enables reliable, redundant wireless connectivity in both day-to-day operations and emergency response scenarios.

Supporting resilient field operations

The fleet of line trucks plays a critical role in infrastructure restoration and maintenance. In areas where cellular coverage is limited or disrupted—particularly during severe weather events—vehicles equipped with AC-Fleet act as connectivity hubs, enabling nearby crews to connect securely through a mobile Wi-Fi network. Each unit supports multi-carrier connectivity using private APNs on both FirstNet and Verizon networks.

The AC-Fleet solution was selected following a competitive evaluation process and offers the following advantages:

• Faster, more stable connectivity for mobile devices including iPads running mobile VPN software
• First to market eSIM feature that supports multiple carriers
• Low-profile rooftop form factor, compatible with utility bucket truck boom clearances
• All-in-One design that provides simple, efficient installation with a single-hole mount and minimal cabling
• Ruggedized housing, rated IP67/IP69K for harsh field conditions and washdowns

Meeting the connectivity demands of modern utility fleets

AC-Fleet’s all-in-one design not only streamlines installation compared to traditional multi-component setups, but also enables customers to easily switch between up to four carriers using eSIM software profiles — eliminating the need for physical SIM card swaps. AC-Fleet also reduces ongoing maintenance costs by consolidating connectivity hardware into a single device, simplifying troubleshooting compared to solutions that rely on separate antennas, modems, and routers. The utility’s internal fleet team successfully installed the units and validated their performance through extensive field testing, including in low-coverage areas and VPN compatibility.

About AC-Fleet

AirgainConnect Fleet™ is a fully integrated 5G vehicle networking platform purpose-built for public safety, utilities, and fleet operations. It combines a 5G/LTE modem, Wi-Fi 6 router, GNSS, and high-performance antennas into a single, rugged IP67/IP69K-rated rooftop enclosure—eliminating the signal loss and installation complexity of traditional modem-router-antenna setups.

Designed for speed and simplicity, AC-Fleet is installed with only two cables (power and ethernet) and a single mounting point, enabling fast deployment by in-house fleet teams. It supports multi-carrier redundancy, private APNs, and advanced features like eSIM provisioning, VPN compatibility, and remote cloud-based management for secure and stable connectivity in the field.
