Airgain, a leading provider of wireless connectivity solutions, announced the launch of the NimbeLink Skywire™ Cat 1 bis Embedded Modem, the industry’s first plug-and-play Cat 1 bis modem for end-application use in industrial IoT. Designed to streamline cellular integration for a wide range of applications, this new modem marks a major leap forward in simplifying and accelerating IoT deployments across industrial, healthcare, logistics, and smart city environments.
Built on next-generation Cat 1 bis technology, the Skywire Cat 1 bis modem delivers the optimal balance of performance, power efficiency, and cost—particularly ideal for IoT devices that require moderate data rates, global network coverage, and long-term deployment. Unlike traditional cellular modules, which require time-consuming and costly certification, Airgain’s modem comes pre-certified as an end device, enabling customers to bypass most regulatory bottlenecks and bring solutions to market up to 80% faster.
“The launch of our Cat 1 bis modem represents a meaningful step forward in simplifying cellular connectivity for IoT,” said Joe Porrazzo, Senior Director of Product at Airgain. “By combining end-device certification, plug-and-play integration, and global carrier support in a compact form factor, we’re helping customers reduce complexity, speed up development cycles, and deploy with rapid time-to-market.”
