Airgain Inc. (AIRG - Free Report) has forged a strategic partnership with Waseela for expanding its footprint in the Middle East region. This collaboration aims to transform the region's telecommunication infrastructure by integrating Airgain’s advanced connectivity and technology solutions into Waseela's offerings.

Per this agreement, this communications service provider will incorporate Airgain’s cutting-edge Lighthouse smart repeaters into its radio coverage portfolio. These repeaters can extend 5G cell coverage by boosting uplink and downlink signal power, with a focus on sub-6GHz frequencies. Featuring a high-power outdoor design, the smart repeaters offer advanced capabilities such as TDD detection, gain control and echo cancelation. This enhancement is expected to enable mobile network operators to expand their 5G coverage efficiently and cost-effectively, thereby significantly improving the overall customer experience.

Furthermore, Airgain's AirgainConnect Fleet is set to transform vehicle connectivity with its integrated 5G modem, Wi-Fi 6 router and high-performance roof-mounted antenna.

The agreement will also include the deployment of Airgain’s Lantern Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) device, which features high-performance antennas and a 5G FR1 modem. This device promises to offer a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional infrastructure. With a 617-4200 MHz coverage range, the Lantern FWA device is a robust Gigabit outdoor solution with an IP67 rating. 

Moreover, rugged asset-tracking devices and highly integrated IoT solutions will likely enhance both indoor and outdoor connectivity needs.

This partnership between Airgain and Waseela represents a pivotal step for the former to cater to the rapid technological advancements and growing demand for cutting-edge solutions in the region. By leveraging Waseela’s deep regional expertise and comprehensive coverage capabilities, Airgain is well-positioned to drive significant improvements in network connectivity and user experience across this key market.
