Airgain Launches Industry’s First Commercially Available Cat 1 bis Embedded Modem Certified for Customer End-Applications

New addition to the NimbeLink Skywire™ family simplifies global IoT deployments with faster integration, lower costs, and seamless hardware migration.

Airgain, Inc., a leading provider of wireless connectivity solutions, today 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.”

Why Cat 1 bis?

As LTE networks evolve and older 2G/3G technologies sunset, Cat 1 bis has emerged as the new baseline for reliable, globally compatible IoT connectivity. Offering single-antenna design (lower BOM cost), extended coverage in hard-to-reach areas, and improved power efficiency, Cat 1 bis is ideally suited for smart meters, asset trackers, sensors, gateways, and remote monitoring systems. Best of all, Airgain’s Cat 1 bis modem delivers Cat 1-class performance at nearly the same price point as Cat M modules—making it an ideal upgrade path for developers looking to reduce costs without sacrificing speed or reliability.

Product Highlights

  • Certified for End-Device Applications: Pre-certified on select global networks to eliminate most regulatory certification hurdles
  • Plug-and-Play: Standard Skywire 20-pin footprint enables drop-in replacement for existing designs
  • Cost-Optimized: MSRP 20–30% lower than previous Cat 1 solutions
  • Global Carrier Support: Available in North American (TC1bisNAG) and Worldwide (QC1bisWWG) versions
  • Compact and Durable: Industrial-grade form factor (29 x 33.9 x 10.8 mm) optimized for space-constrained applications
  • Future-Proof: Built on the latest Telit and Quectel Cat 1 bis cellular modules

The Skywire Cat 1 bis modem is available now for evaluation, with immediate commercial availability. Customers can access development kits, reference designs, and migration guides to enable a seamless integration process. The Cat 1 bis modem is available through Airgain’s authorized distribution partners, including DigiKey, Braemac, Mouser, GetWireless, Arrow, and Richardson.

Note: Carrier certification may vary by region and application. Customers should verify compatibility with specific mobile network operators as part of their deployment process.
