Portable Critical Communications

SHIELD MegaGo 2 from Nextivity gives first responders and other field personnel the rapid deployment and portability they need to instantly access reliable on-scene FirstNet broadband communications.

FAQ

Is the Nextivity MegaGo 2 difficult to operate?
Nope. One button operation (On/Off) is all that is required. The MegaGo 2 has been preprogrammed to automatically connect to FirstNet. The network automatically selects the LTE band and tells the MegaGo 2 to activate MegaRange power as required. The SSID and password for Wi-Fi operation are written on the inside of the case.

Should the Nextivity MegaGo 2 be operated with the case open or closed?
The MegaGo 2 case should be operated with the case closed. This protects the internal circuits from the elements. The built-in antennas are oriented so that they provide best performance when the lid is closed and the MegaGo 2 case is placed flat on any surface.

Does the MegaGo 2 require external antennas?
Nope. The MegaGo 2 case has a high-performance antenna array mounted in the case lid. This includes a high-performance antenna for MegaRange operation on Band 14.

How do I know how much battery charge is left?
The MegaRange case includes a digital display with the percentage of charge left in the battery. The battery typically powers the MegaGo 2 for 12-14 hours in normal operating conditions.

How long does it take to fully recharge the MegaGo 2 battery?
Recharging a fully discharged MegaGo 2 battery typically takes six hours from the ac/dc adapter included with the case. Our tests show that following a full charge, the battery can retain the charge for about one month if not used.

Can I operate the MegaGo 2 while recharging the battery?
Yes. The MegaGo 2 can be used while charging as long as the battery is above 20% capacity.
