AG Antenna Powers Verizon Frontline Public Safety Networks with Rugged Antenna Systems for Cradlepoint Routers

In Frontline public safety operations where connectivity underpins every decision, wireless performance cannot be compromised. Verizon Frontline—one of the nation’s premier networks built for first responders—relies on high-performance mobile routers like the Ericsson Cradlepoint IBR1700, R980, and R1900. But to fully unlock their capabilities, these rugged routers require antenna systems that are just as advanced, durable, and field-proven.

AG Antenna designs and manufactures a full line of Antennas for Verizon Frontline-certified Routers engineered specifically for use with Cradlepoint mobile routers in public safety vehicles, emergency response trailers, mobile command units, and other first responder platforms. Our solutions deliver maximum signal strength, ultra-reliable connectivity, and unmatched durability in real-world deployments.


Why Verizon Frontline and Cradlepoint Routers Require Specialized Antennas

Cradlepoint’s vehicle routers—including the IBR1700, R1900, and other Verizon Frontline-approved models—are designed for mobile broadband, LTE/5G failover, GPS, and secure Wi-Fi access in the field. These routers are essential tools for police, fire, EMS, and utility teams requiring fast and uninterrupted data access on the move.

However, even the most capable router needs an equally robust antenna system to perform at its peak. That’s where AG Antenna comes in. We offer purpose-built antenna solutions that:

  • Match router port configurations exactly (MIMO Cellular, MIMO Wi-Fi, GPS/GNSS)
  • Improve signal reception in fringe and congested areas
  • Enhance throughput, coverage, and location accuracy
  • Survive extreme conditions and mobile environments

AG Antenna’s Deployable Antennas for Verizon Frontline-Certified Routers: Engineered for Mobile Performance

Our antennas are precision-designed to meet the needs of Verizon Frontline mobility. Each solution is tested and validated for seamless operation with Cradlepoint routers and supports key technologies including:

  • 4G LTE / 5G NR Multi-MIMO Cellular: Enhanced gain and isolation for optimal network throughput and reduced signal dropouts in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
  • Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6/6E, and Wi-Fi 7-Ready: Multi-port dual-band or tri-band configurations for in-vehicle hotspot coverage and mobile network access.
  • High-Accuracy GPS/GNSS: Fast acquisition, low noise, and stable signal tracking for AVL, E911, and fleet location services.

From compact 3-in-1 setups to complex 21-lead multi-MIMO arrays, our antennas are precision-engineered for seamless vehicle integration and optimal RF performance across all configurations.


Designed for the Demands of First Responder Vehicles and Emergency Fleets

AG Antenna’s Verizon Frontline router antennas are built to endure real-world abuse:

  • Rugged Construction: Low-profile, IP-rated housings withstand vibration, shock, water, dust, and UV exposure.
  • Electrical Precision: Each port is matched and isolated for maximum spectral efficiency and minimal interference.
  • Optimized Form Factors: Streamlined designs for roof, fender, or utility box mounting—perfect for patrol cars, fire apparatus, EMS vehicles, and response trailers.

At AG Antenna, performance drives design—never the other way around. We aim for a refined, purpose-built look that aligns with the professional standards of today’s mission-critical fleets. Our engineering process starts with function, ensuring that every internal element—from MIMO layout to gain tuning—is optimized for reliability, efficiency, and connectivity in real-world deployments.

Once performance is locked in, we refine the form factor to ensure a low-profile, fleet-appropriate aesthetic without compromising signal integrity. The result is a lineup of antennas that not only meet the demands of public safety and mobile environments, but also maintain a clean, purpose-built appearance that fits modern fleets and professional-grade installations.


Deployed Nationwide: Proven in Real-World First Responder Applications

For well over a decade, our antennas have been trusted and are in active deployments across the U.S. by agencies requiring:

  • Solution design and project support
  • Reliable mobile broadband in field operations
  • Stable connections for video uplinks and CAD systems
  • GPS location tracking for emergency vehicle fleets
  • Ruggedized gear for disaster response and recovery efforts

From state police and sheriff departments to fire rescue, EMS, and public works, AG Antenna solutions are deployable for use with Verizon Frontline-certified router deployments.


Plug-and-Play Integration with Cradlepoint Routers and Devices

AG Antenna solutions are designed for direct integration with Cradlepoint vehicle routers:

  • Factory-terminated leads with SMA, QMA, FAKRA, TNC, or N connectors
  • Flexible lead count options: from 3-in-1 to 21-in-2 configurations
  • Custom cable lengths and mounting accessories available

Our engineering team works closely with vehicle integrators and fleet managers to ensure every install is optimized for performance, cable routing, and long-term reliability.
