High-Power Router Creates Wi-Fi Hotspot in Hard-to-Reach Places

You Keep Them Connected, We’ll Keep You Connected

HPUE Technology has 6x the Uplink Power

Bringing power, water, and fuel everywhere we need it takes utility workers to places no one else goes. Keep your crews safe, connected, and in touch with help and support with the highest-power router available. Nextivity HPUE  IntelliRange® Technology enables voice, data, and video in rural, edge-of-network, and shielded locations where connectivity may be spotty.

High Power User Equipment (HPUE) is a specialized class of cellular device with up to 6x the uplink power of standard devices. Nextivity SHIELD MegaFi 2 and MegaGo 2 HPUE routers maintain a reliable cellular connection to the macro network and use the signal to create a Wi-Fi hot spot anyone can use.

What Causes Dead Spots?

Proximity to Tower

Uplink power on standard devices is not as strong as the power of the signal coming from the tower, making it difficult to send communication when towers are far away.

Natural Barriers

In remote areas, especially where there are hills, valleys, trees, and other natural features, the landscape itself can interfere with signals.

Physical Structures

Building shadows, garages, and other urban structures often create pockets of dead zones. Having to connect and reconnect can waste valuable time.

Use Cases for Utilities

Everywhere we go and everywhere equipment is operating, we want, and often expect, there to be wireless connectivity. For many, having no signal is an inconvenience – but for utilities, connectivity is mission-critical to keep energy and water flowing. Here are some of the places HPUE connectivity supports utility crews and adds value to operations:

  • Remote worksites, such as canyons or riverbeds
  • Underground garages
  • Trucks servicing rural locations
  • Remote meter reading
  • Transformer monitoring
  • Tank level monitoring
  • Emergency power restoration
  • Smart Grid monitoring

On-the-Go Connectivity When Duty Calls

Turn Every Truck into a Communication Hub

Equip your crews with high-power routers to turn all your vehicles into reliable Wi-Fi hot spots. Restoring power after a natural disaster and bringing utilities into new areas requires coordination. Increase the chances of getting and maintaining a connection for voice, data, and video with vehicle-mounted MegaFi 2 devices or MegaGo field cases. Create QR codes to help users quickly log on to the network.
