Self-Installation Reduces Need for On-Site Technicians
Customers that use MyHitron App with their Hitron gateway can do installations themselves. The MyHitron App optimizes the placement of the gateway or Access Point in customers’ homes and optimizes the device performance connected to that gateway.

This greatly reduces the number of unnecessary truck dispatches that occur today.
