Deal worth several million dollars per year in revenue signals consumer adoption of wireless broadband and shift towards Fixed Wireless Access for last mile connection

Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of wireless connectivity solutions that creates and delivers embedded components, external antennas, and integrated systems across the globe, announced that it has been selected by a major Tier 1 Mobile Network Operator (MNO) in North America to supply its next generation antennas for its indoor fixed wireless (FWA) deployment. The selection comes amid ongoing consumer shifts away from traditional, wired broadband to wireless as more major telecom providers offer broadband internet access as part of their bundled offerings. The deal is worth several million dollars per year and is expected to begin shipments in Q1, 2024.

As consumers continue to cut the cord for broadband and broadcast entertainment, demand continues to shift from wired to wireless providers for internet service. Spotting this trend, Airgain has focused its strategy on penetrating this growing market, which offers an increase in average selling price, due to the complexity and number of antennas required. Airgain has invested heavily in its next generation WiFi 7 capabilities and combines expertise in WiFi, 5G and FWA to deliver superior RF performance in this device.

“Service providers are on the cusp of a major transition from WiFi 6E to WiFi 7,” said Jacob Suen, CEO of Airgain. “While this is happening, consumers are deciding between wired and wireless broadband for their home and offices. Airgain is positioned well to support existing cable and fiber operators with their customer premises equipment, or CPEs, while taking advantage of the growth in wireless broadband because of our relationships with the MNOs. We are very pleased to have received the initial purchase order for this significant indoor FWA design win from a major North America operator. Our goal is to simplify wireless connectivity for our partners and their customers while delivering the best possible performance. This is the reason major operators continue to choose Airgain.”
