Powerwave Introduces VersaFlex Base Station Enclosures
Powerwave added VersaFlex (formerly know as Rubix) base station enclosures to its family of wireless infrastructure solutions following its recent acquisition of selected assets and liabilities of Infrastructure Solutions LLC.
VersaFlex base station enclosures feature a modular design that provides wireless network operators with a smaller footprint, larger equipment capacity, and faster installation. The VersaFlex enclosure houses wireless network base station equipment and protects it from the elements.
"Powerwave is committed to providing our customers with innovative wireless infrastructure solutions that will drive the next wave of growth in wireless," said Ronald J. Buschur, president and chief executive officer, Powerwave Technologies. "We believe the VersaFlex base station enclosure will appeal to our customers, who look to us for solutions that help them to enhance their services, lower costs and improve performance."
Built to accommodate small lease spaces, the VersaFlex base station enclosure is smaller than traditional base station enclosures. The VersaFlex base station enclosure can come equipped with all equipment and cabling on sliding racks that can be moved vertically and horizontally. The enclosure's design features heating, ventilation and air conditioning delivered through the floor, ensuring proper air flow among all equipment housed in the enclosure. This helps to eliminate "hot spots," significantly reducing meantime between equipment failures.
The VersaFlex base station enclosure can be delivered pre-configured and pre-cabled, and can be dropped at the location fully populated. Due to its smaller footprint, the VersaFlex base station enclosure can be installed with a forklift, as opposed to a crane.
