Technology
The Rangair system is designed from the ground up to provide rugged, scalable, and high-performance connectivity in the toughest environments.Our complete mobile broadband system integrates these 5 elements:
Backpack Nodes – Lightweight, rugged, and battery-powered, these portable nodes use 900MHz meshing to create Wi-Fi hotspots wherever responders go.
Core Nodes – Vehicle-mounted or installed at fixed locations, Core Nodes are the hubs of the Rangair network, providing long-range Wi-Fi and 900MHz mesh coverage while intelligently routing data through the best available uplink.
Diverse Uplink Paths – Rangair automatically selects the best available uplink — including Starlink, cellular, and wired connections — to provide uninterrupted broadband through single-network coverage holes.
Seamless Roaming Service – Our roaming service securely transports traffic across the Internet to ensure users stay connected as they move around an incident, switching between vehicle, backpack, and fixed nodes without interruption.
Management Dashboard – A user-friendly web and mobile interface gives administrators complete visibility and control over the network, allowing for real-time monitoring, troubleshooting, and user management.
Together, these components create a powerful, distributed network that follows responders wherever the mission takes them, ensuring reliable, high-performance data connectivity.
Purpose-Built
Rangair is designed from the ground-up for public safety.
Waterproof and drop-tested hardware, built to withstand extreme conditions.
Dedicated mounting kits enable quick installs on fire apparatus and other public safety vehicles.
Long-endurance batteries last through extended shifts.
Plug-and-play system, no IT expertise needed to get started.
Interoperable with all Wi-Fi devices, seamlessly connecting phones, tablets, laptops, and Wi-Fi-enabled LMR radios.
Strongest Coverage
Rangair delivers unmatched coverage in any terrain
Multiple uplink paths including Starlink ensure reliable connectivity, even through cell network dead zones.
Long-range 900MHz meshing penetrates through vegetation and walls further than higher frequencies like 2.4GHz, 4.9GHz, or 5GHz.
4x4 MIMO Wi-Fi with high-gain sector antennas extend fast coverage across large incidents.
Portable vehicle-mounted and body-worn nodes create mobile coverage that follows users wherever they go: driving, hiking, or on the water.
Roaming Service delivers seamless transition between vehicle, backpack, and fixed nodes without drops or re-connections.
High Performance
Fast, reliable connectivity for mission-critical applications
Typical speeds of up to 100Mbps near core nodes and 5-10Mbps at full mesh range enable bandwidth-intensive apps like video and mapping.
80ms typical end-to-end latency supports real-time VoIP and LMR coverage augmentation for reliable voice when tower signals fade.
Intelligent mesh routing constantly optimizes packet flows for speed, reliability, and capacity as the network changes.
Multiple redundant uplinks provide seamless failover Starlink, cellular, and wired connections.
Auto-Scaling Mutual-Aid Network
Capacity and coverage expands automatically as units arrive
Mutual-aid network allows seamless multi-agency collaboration, sharing mesh and uplink resources while on scene.
Departments have control to opt out or prioritize their own traffic on their nodes.
Geolocation-aware system automatically leverages every arriving node, increasing bandwidth and coverage in real-time.
Supports unified command by enabling interagency collaboration, while maintaining agency-specific security and access controls.
Ensures reliable communication on large-scale incidents, preventing network congestion and interference.
Professional and Secure
Secure connectivity with advanced management tools
Supports multiple private and shared networks with powerful QoS prioritization.
Flexible authentication options with per-device and per-user security keys, pre-shared keys, and department directory integration.
128-bit AES encryption protects sensitive data on secure private networks.
User-friendly management dashboard provides real-time network visibility, user management, and analysis tools.
Automatic security updates ensure the system stays hardened against cyber threats with no manual intervention.
