MegaRange™ HPUE Technology for FirstNet® Community

Gain FirstNet Coverage Beyond Range of Today’s Standard Equipment

The range for cellular LTE/FirstNet coverage is typically limited by uplink power.

By design, downlink power from the cell site is much greater than the uplink power from the user

6x the Power of Standard Equipment

Our patented technology, exclusive to FirstNet and exclusively provided by Nextivity, remedies this imbalance by delivering 6x the power of standard equipment. HPUE is defined by the international standards body 3GPP as Power Class 1, which are the most powerful devices allowed under 3GPP standards

Our Partners are Equipped with the Best Tools in the Industry
