Sunsetting 3G
Now is the time to upgrade your current 3G device!
In order to make sure that your drivers stay compliant it is important that all devices have constant connectivity. US 3G networks will be completely sunsetted by 2022, however, service will erode over time before the final cut off.
Radius-CyntrX can help you determine if your hardware is 3G or 4G and if it needs upgrading, we have special pricing programs in place. Our hardware works on the 4G LTE Cat M1 network. This new hardware will future proof your fleet for the next decade.
Upgrade your current 3G device to our FleX or LinX device for optimal connectivity.
