network needs
Building a communications network that can sustain harsh
environmental conditions while providing the required
reliability can be a challenge, especially while trying to contain
costs. Whether it’s an industrial, utility, transportation or
telecommunications network, the connections between devices
must effectively, efficiently, and safely carry and process
signals throughout the infrastructure (cables, racks, enclosures,
power distribution, etc.) while providing remote management
capabilities.
Enclosures are moving toward being more integrated and
intelligent, whether in Broadband for consumers, Cell-site
Backhaul, Business Class Ethernet,DAS, small cell, Wi-Fi, wireless
or wireline networks. Westell provides a comprehensive range of
Outside Plant (OSP) and Industrial Network solutions to connect
nearly any outdoor building or facility.
