MegaMobile is the highest power device available on FirstNet creating superior range, coverage, penetration, and capacity when used on the FirstNet network. Our modem is designed to meet all 3GPP and FCC requirements as a Power Class 1 (HPUE) device on LTE Band 14 and Power Class 3.
MegaMobile is the highest power device available on FirstNet creating superior range, coverage, penetration, and capacity when used on the FirstNet network. MegaMobile includes the Assured Wireless AW12 High Power User Equipment (HPUE) modem and the AW12-EI, Ethernet Injector, bringing the power and device management capability needed by today’s sophisticated users. The AW12 HPUE device is FirstNet Ready™ and meets all 3GPP and FCC requirements as both a Power Class 1 (HPUE) device on LTE Band 14 and as a Power Class 3 (standard power) device on all other AT&T bands. The AW12-EI is a router and power conditioner providing seamless integration to the PC or WAN port of standard Ethernet-connected routers, gateways, and switches.
For a high-speed connection to associated LAN devices, a Gigabit Ethernet connection is provided that also includes Type 2 PoE capability to power MegaMobile. MegaMobile includes a DC power cable and operates from 9V to 36Vdc sources to help ensure operation in the most demanding vehicular environments.
MegaMobile also includes a ruggedized mounting bracket with associated hardware and is suitable for mounting behind seats, in the trunk, and other locations in the vehicle. Vehicular Antennas and FirstNet Ready SIM cards are sold separately.

The AW12 is a complete radio modem device that operates on all AT&T bands and directly connects to PCs, Routers, and other equipment to create a broadband connection.
The AW12-EI is a companion product that provides an ethernet port and power conditioning to the AW12 device. Click HERE for more information of the AW12-EI
No. The AW12 has been designed for exclusive use on the FirstNet and AT&T networks on all standard AT&T bands. By US regulations, the HPUE feature is only available on LTE Band 14 which is exclusively used by FirstNet and AT&T.
The AW12 provides HPUE operation (Power Class 1, +31 dBm) on AT&T/FirstNet LTE Band 14 and standard transmit power (Power Class 3, +23 dBm) on all other AT&T bands. The additional power on Band 14 greatly improves the range, coverage, uplink data speeds and overall connectivity of the AW12. Note that the actual output power of the AW12 is always under the full control of the connected cellular network and varies in real time to optimize the signal being received at the base station.
AW12 users should expect better range, coverage, uplink speeds, and connectivity. The HPUE FAQ section gives more detailed information on the benefits of HPUE in various operational scenarios.
The AW12 operates from a nominal 5-12 VDC supply. Note that standard USB connections do not have the sufficient current capability to power the AW12 in high power modes so that a separate DC power supply (minimum 15W) is required. A 9 ft. vehicle power cable is included with the AW12. The companion AW12-EI is available to power the AW12 from 9 – 36V DC sources or PoE sources. An AC Power Supply (model AW12-DE-ACC) is also available.
The AW12 uses USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connection to operate at full Cat12 data speeds. The AW12 is compatible with USB 2.0 connections.
Windows PCs will require downloading a free driver that can be found on the support page of our website at www.assured-wireless.com/support. Many Linux distributions natively support the AW12. After the driver is active the AW12 connection status can be viewed through the standard wireless connection manager. After the connection is established the AW12 will operate as would any Wi-Fi or other Internet connection.
The AW12 has four standard SMA-type RF connectors. They are labeled as follows:
| PRI | This is the Primary LTE antenna port for all bands except Band 14 |
| B14 | This is the HPUE port for Band 14 only |
| DIV | This is the LTE Diversity antenna port for all bands |
| GNSS | This is the antenna port for the GPS antenna |
When connecting the AW12 to the antenna, always make sure that the appropriate leads from the antenna are connected to the appropriate RF connectors to avoid damage to the AW12 or antenna. See the list of certified antennas on Assured Wireless Support page that we have tested for compatibility with the AW12.
The GNSS SPA Connector provides both the RF and power connection to the external, active GNSS/GPS antenna.
Yes, the AW12 requires its own 3FF Micro SIM card. Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to insert it. You should contact your FirstNet or AT&T Sales Representative, Authorized Dealer or Reseller for more information.
Yes. An HPUE-provisioned AW12 automatically identifies to base stations that it has HPUE capability.
We carefully curate antennas to work with AW12. Please see our support page for the latest list of approved antennas: www.assured-wireless.com/support
To avoid interference, we recommend that the LTE antenna connected to the AW12 be physically separated by a meter (three feet) or more from existing LTE or LMR antennas on the rooftop of a vehicle.
Yes. The output power of our HPUE devices is 1.25 Watts maximum and is below the output power of 700 MHz LMR radios whose antennas are also often on the roof of Public Safety vehicles.
