How it works

Online when needed.

AGN1 sits between the production server and the vendor or maintenance side. By default the line is physically open — no firewall rule, no software trust. The path only exists for a scheduled window, then returns to a mechanical break.

  • Manual, scheduled, or event-based windows.
  • Independent GSM control channel — never over the LAN.
  • Auto-close runs locally on the device when the window ends.

By default the line is physically open — neither side is electrically reachable. The break is hardware, not a firewall rule.

Use cases

Six paths. One break.

Internet isolation

Take a server off the public internet between active sessions. The line returns only for approved windows — backups, updates, vendor jobs.

  • SMB
  • Manufacturing

Server configuration windows

Open admin access to a server during a scheduled maintenance slot. The path closes automatically when the window ends.

  • All segments

Backup isolation

Backup targets stay disconnected from the production network and only open when the backup job runs. Ransomware cannot follow what is not connected.

  • All segments

Immutable backup vaults

Pair AGN1 with an air-gapped backup target so the vault is reachable only on explicit, time-limited writes. Combine with WORM storage for true immutability.

  • Finance
  • Healthcare
  • Regulated

PoE device control

Disconnect cameras, sensors, displays, or kiosks from the network when they aren't actively in use. Reduces the lateral-movement surface from edge devices.

  • Retail
  • Hospitality
  • Industrial

Vendor maintenance windows

External technicians get scoped access to one device during a defined window. No on-site escort, no entire-network exposure.

  • Healthcare

Box contents

15.9 oz (450 g) kit
AirGapNet AGN1 device included in the box

Packed for one first deployment: device, power, plug set, and the control reference.

Product kit

Everything for the first line.

The shipment is built around one job: put a physical control point on one service path without turning setup into a procurement project.

  • 1xAGN1 unitSingle-line controller in black or orange housing.
  • 1xUSB-C power5 V adapter for continuous low-power operation.
  • 4xPlug adaptersEU, UK, US, and AU adapters for deployment sites.
  • 1xQuick-start cardSMS control reference for the first access window.

Recyclable card packaging. External SMA antenna optional for sites that need it.

Specifications

The numbers that matter.

A quick buyer-readable view of AGN1. The full datasheet stays available for audits, procurement, and engineering review.

Network

Up to 10 Gbit/s

Inline RJ45 switching for one service path, closed by default until a window opens.

  • 2x RJ45 inline ports
  • <1 us switching latency
  • Physical no-link default
Control

Independent GSM/SMS

The control channel is separate from the protected LAN, so the network being protected cannot operate the switch.

  • Phone whitelist
  • Two-factor control
  • Local audit log
Power

USB-C, 0.65 W idle

Low-power, fanless operation for shelves, cabinets, and small network rooms.

  • 5 V USB-C input
  • Passive cooling
  • 100-240 V adapter
Physical

3.74 × 6.14 × 1.38 in

Compact enough for a shelf, cabinet, or device-side install without a rack requirement. Metric: 95 × 156 × 35 mm.

  • 15.9 oz (450 g)
  • Black or orange housing
  • Optional SMA antenna

Pricing

Why $1,199 is the right number.

A single AGN1 costs less than one hour of incident response.

$1,099 is a one-time hardware purchase, not a SaaS line item. Here is what that number reflects and what it replaces.

01

One-time purchase, lifetime device

$1,099 is the full price — no SaaS, no per-user licensing, no telemetry tax. Hardware refresh cycles are 5+ years.

02

Hardware-anchored, not software-trust

Custom switching hardware, an independent GSM control channel, and a patent-pending mechanism — not a Linux box with a firmware filter.

03

One prevented incident pays for ~4,000 units

The 2024 average ransomware impact was about $4.5M (IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report). A single AGN1 closes the most common entry path — vendor maintenance access.

04

Cheaper than the labor it replaces

Sending a technician onsite to physically pull and reconnect a cable runs $250–$500 per maintenance window. AGN1 pays back in 3–5 service events.

FAQ

AGN1 — the questions that come up.

Product, deployment, security, warranty, and pricing — the items most buyers raise on the first call.

AGN1 is a hardware switch installed inline on a single network path. By default the line is physically open — neither side is electrically reachable. You open the path for a defined window (manual, scheduled, or event-based) over an independent GSM control channel, and the line returns to a physical break when the window ends.
No — it's an additional layer. Firewalls, EDR, and segmentation are software-based and assume the path exists. AirGapNet changes whether the path physically exists. Use it in addition to your existing stack, not in place of it.
A managed switch, VPN, or jump host still keeps the line electrically connected — you trust software to gate access. AGN1 makes the path physically not-exist by default. The attack surface during the closed state is zero, because there is no surface.
Three modes — manual (SMS code), scheduled (recurring windows), or event-based (verified signal). Auto-close runs locally on the device. When the timer expires, the line returns to a mechanical break — no software command required.
AGN1 ships with a built-in antenna. For low-signal environments, an external SMA antenna is available as an accessory. The control channel is independent of the protected LAN by design.
AGN1 is controlled individually via SMS or app today. AirGapNet Cloud, in development, will provide centralized fleet management, group scheduling, and audit export. Cloud is a future addition — AGN1 ships fully functional on its own.
Every state change — open command received (with originating phone number), window opened, window closed, expiry. Audit data is stored locally on the device and exportable via the management port. AirGapNet Cloud will provide audit aggregation across a fleet.
No. AGN1 operates entirely offline from the AirGapNet vendor side — no telemetry, no analytics, no remote calls home. The control channel only carries traffic between the device and the phone numbers you have whitelisted. Your operational data stays yours.
The default state under any failure mode — power loss, GSM module fault, firmware crash — is physically open. The line stays disconnected. A failed device is replaced under warranty; until replacement, the protected path is offline (which is the safe state by design).
24-month limited warranty on hardware. Return window: 30 days from receipt for unused, unopened units. Defects covered under warranty are repaired or replaced.
No. AGN1 is a one-time hardware purchase. The independent control channel uses your own GSM SIM card and carrier plan (typically $5–$10 per month). AirGapNet Cloud, when available, will be a separate optional product.
