WiFiRanger Extends Connectivity Solutions With 3 New Converge(™) Offerings

September 23rd, 2019 - Meridian, Idaho - WiFiRanger, the leader in Innovative RV connectivity & control solutions, today announced the availability of multiple roof-top and internal connectivity solutions, filling out their Vehicle Connectivity Integration System VCIS(™) strategy with options for all RV markets and vehicle types.

“We’ve heard our OE and aftermarket customers tell us that one size does not fit all styles of RV’s and customers. This new offering extends our solution set, allowing an upgradeable platform spanning from value packed to extreme connectivity.” -Kelly Hogan, CEO & Product Visionary, WiFiRanger

The new offering includes 3 high performance roof-top platforms dubbed Teton, Denali, and Everest:

The value packed Teton system includes high performance WiFi boosting, with a drop in LTE modem option, positioned at an industry disruptive price point.

Denali extends the outdoor WiFi power capabilities further with 5X the power of competing systems for better range and throughput, built in Cat 4 rooftop Extended range LTE modem with integrated GPS.

The Everest platform is the most capable connectivity solution ever debuted to the industry. Offering outdoor dual chain, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz high power WiFi, an integrated Cat 6 multi carrier LTE modem, a second slot for an additional LTE modem, USB 3.0 connection for up to Cat 20 LTE & 5G futures, and up to 64GB storage of telemetry data.

All offerings are delivered in the flexible Converge enclosure, and offer simple “tray swap” upgrades allowing owners to improve their systems simply and effectively with no changes to the enclosure. Each system ships with the TetherPoint(™) wire harness which facilitates locating an LTE unit conveniently within a vast array of floor plans and easy addition of indoor TetherPoint(™) routers to extend capabilities in the future.

Complimenting the outdoor platforms are new indoor TetherPoint(™) routers. Matching the outdoors naming theme, the options include Poplar, Aspen, and Sequoia:

Poplar, the value packed option, includes a powerful 2.4Ghz WiFi radio, while Aspen includes both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (AC1200 WiFi) broadcast capability.

Sequoia is unmatched, offering high power 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz radios, (AC1200 WiFi) up to 2 additional LTE embedded modems, USB 3.0 port for up to Cat 20 and 5G futures, and a USB 2.0 port for tethering multiple handheld devices.

All three routers include the ability to add an additional built-in LTE modem, SD Card for data collection, and USB 2.0 port to easily tether up to 3 different simultaneous handheld devices for data aggregation. Coupling with an outdoor platform creates a parallel processing connectivity solution unmatched by anything in the industry.

“This initiative was the WiFiRanger team's opportunity to redefine connectivity for the RV industry, and our team nailed it. They built a flexible, upgradeable, and comprehensive suite of solutions that will appeal to all OE and Aftermarket customers. We’re proud of the progress and looking forward to offering our customers the opportunity to access the highest level of connectivity with proven reputation and features, available at any price point.” Continued Hogan.

Teton and Poplar will begin shipping October 15th, 2019 to aftermarket customers. Denali and Aspen will commence shipments mid-November, and Everest and Sequoia will begin shipping January 1st, 2020. OE customers can reserve volume positions by working with MITO Corporation for model year changes to secure availability.

WiFiRanger products are envisioned, designed & assembled in Meridian Idaho by a team of innovative Americans dedicated to improving RV connectivity. Information and ordering is available directly at WIFIRanger.com and direct inquiries can be eMailed to sales@wifiranger.com, or call 208-321-5544. For OE integration through MITO Corporation in Elkhart, Indiana call 574-295-2441.

The new WiFiRanger product line starts with the Teton which is priced at $129. That's a rather low price for a full-fledged WiFiRanger router. Adding an LTE modem to a Teton increases the price by $70.

FWIW, the WiFiRanger website store hasn't yet been updated to reflect these new products. Shipments should begin within the next couple of weeks.

The new Converge product line has just gone "live" on the WiFiRanger online store. Both the Teton and Denali rooftop units are now available for presale with shipments scheduled to start the week of 10/14. In addition, two new indoor routers, Poplar and Spruce, designed to mate with the new rooftop units, are also available.

The new product lines are priced well below the cost of previous WiFiRanger models. For example, the new Spruce router is as capable as the GoAC it replaces but it is priced at only $119 compared to $349!!

The new WiFiRanger Teton and Denali Converge routers are now shipping!!

Converge provides a single integrated solution for both the WiFi and cellular needs of RVers.

Every rooftop Converge router is capable of integrating one (or more) LTE modems and those modems are designed for use with the three largest US cellular carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon). Use your own SIM and select your carrier by resetting the modem's IMEI from the Ranger's on-screen control panel. [Note--Verizon certification is in process but all hardware will be Verizon-capable when certification is received without any modification or upgrades needed.]

All this capability is available for a price of $199. That buys you a WiFiRanger Converge Teton Router and a Cat 4 modem. A Poplar indoor router can be added for $65 or a Spruce dual band (2.4GHz + 5.8GHz) indoor router for $90 (if purchased with the Teton). An indoor can always be added later if you don't buy one to start with as can an LTE modem.

If you want greater performance Converge Denali systems are also currently shipping. The Denali comes with a Cat 4 modem and a Cat 6 is available as an option.

Of course, for those who demand the best of the best, the Converge Everest system will soon be available with unmatched state-of-the-art performance. Everest is even designed to handle a pair of Cat 6 modems!
