Ready For 700 MHz!
Wireless broadband is becoming widespread across the U.S. and abroad. Whether in metro, suburban, or rural markets, individuals and businesses alike are embracing an ‘any media, any speed, anywhere’ mode of operation for a variety of mobile, high-speed voice, data, and video uses and applications. To facilitate a ubiquitous, high-speed mobile broadband environment, new air interfaces such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE) are being deployed in new frequency bands such as 700 MHz. At the same time, a whole new infrastructure of radios, cable and antennas are needed to support this new wave of mobile broadband services. Such services include high-speed Internet access and Internet Protocol (IP)-based services in homes and businesses, on campuses, and inside big buildings and large structures.
TerraWave Solutions introduces a new line of high-performance indoor and outdoor antennas for a wide variety of wireless broadband applications, including 700 MHz applications. These antennas are designed to deliver improved signal strengths and to enhance end-user experiences in a variety of applications and configurations. More importantly, these multiband antennas can operate in existing cellular or 2.4 GHz mobile broadband networks, and can be reused in place, or easily relocated as operators move to new 700 MHz operation. In addition, these state-of-the-art antennas can serve as an integral element in distributed antenna systems (DAS) implemented for extending cellular coverage and for specialized wireless broadband reach needed inside sports venues or across college or office campuses.
Outdoor Antennas
TerraWave offers three antennas designed for outdoor wireless broadband networks operating in the 700 MHz, cellular, or 2.4 GHz frequency ranges; these include:
Indoor Antennas
TerraWave offers antennas designed for indoor wireless broadband networks operating in the 700 MHz, cellular, or 2.4 GHz frequency ranges, including:
-
The 690-960/1700-2500 MHz 3/3.5 dBi omnidirectional antenna which is ideal for any indoor voice and data wireless system, and includes an N-style jack connector, and a convenient ceiling mount that allows for easy placement options utilizing a single, 3/4-inch mounting hole in the ceiling.

Aesthetically Pleasing Ceiling Tile Enclosures Protect Access Points
TerraWave Solutions introduces two new ceiling tile enclosures to contain and protect an access point (AP) in an aesthetically pleasing and stealthy solution.
TerraWave's TW-CTEN-P universal polycarbonate ceiling tile enclosure fits in ceiling tile grids measuring either 1 x 2 feet or 2 x 2 feet (by using the included insert). Constructed of ABS plastic comprised of UL 94 VO-rated raw materials, the enclosure is designed to meet NEC300-22 and 300-23 standards for installation in plenum/air-handling areas. It includes two door inserts, two cord grips, quarter-turn lock, and hardware for securing enclosure to permanent ceiling structures. It features flexible mounting plate heights, can accommodate many manufacturers’ enterprise-class APs, and is the most flexible ceiling tile enclosure offered by TerraWave.
TerraWave's TW-CTEN-2 x 2-1142A ceiling tile enclosure contains and protects the Cisco 1142 AP in an extremely lightweight and easy-to-deploy solution within a standard ceiling tile measuring 2 x 2 feet. The enclosure is constructed of powder-coated aluminum and is designed to meet NEC300-22 and 300-23 for installation in plenum/air-handling areas. It includes holes for securing the enclosure to the ceiling system, cord grip, CAT 60 key lock for added security, and weighs only 3-1/2 pounds (5-1/2 pounds with the AP installed). Installation requires no tools, making this the easiest TerraWave enclosure to deploy, and it does not require removal of the enclosure from the ceiling tile grid to service the AP.
MSHA-Approved Bulk Cable for Mining Applications
The wired world above ground is much different than the wired world below ground. Many industries, including mining, have stringent standards on the products that can be used for applications in potentially hazardous environments. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) tests and approves all equipment deployed in underground mining applications.
TerraWave Solutions has expanded its fire-retardant coaxial cable line to include MSHA-approved coaxial cable specifically designed for underground mining telecommunications and data applications. This non-halogenated, low-smoke, fire-retardant cable is designed for mining applications where dangerous sparks must be controlled.
TerraWave’s fire-retardant and MSHA-approved cable can be used in almost any application where handling characteristics, improved shielding, and low loss is required. Additionally, TerraWave’s MSHA-approved cable is deployed using standard connectors, preventing the need for specialty connectors or tools required for installation.

Flex-Line Steel Enclosures
TerraWave introduces a line of 14"x12"x6" and 12"x10"x6" steel enclosures. Solid door enclosures are specifically designed to provide NEMA 4 outside protection and window models provide NEMA 12 inside protection. Each enclosure protects wireless equipment from damage caused by tampering or environmental elements.
These versatile, rugged enclosures are constructed from 14-gauge steel and include eight knockouts for antenna ports and one for a strain relief. Each knockout is only visible from the inside of the enclosure to enhance the outside aesthetic design. TerraWave is the only manufacturer in the industry to offer such cutting-edge solutions with robust and flexible application options.

Beyond Your Ordinary Wireless Network:
TerraWave's Enlightened Solution for ShowPro
TerraWave Solutions is traditionally known for products and solutions tailored for wireless networking applications, but ShowPro needed TerraWave to think outside the box for an off-the-shelf enclosure solution. ShowPro, a lighting design firm, was tasked to develop numerous lighting attractions at many major venues in the downtown Long Beach area in an effort to revitalize the area and showcase the unique architecture on the waterfront.
ShowPro contacted a TerraWave wireless networking solutions sales engineer after completing a thorough Internet search for an enclosure solution to house and protect the controller for the high-tech LED lights from inclement weather and splashing fountain water. Security was also a concern in areas where people could touch and possibly tamper with the equipment.
Learn how TerraWave's relationship with ShowPro progressed and how TerraWave sales engineers were available to assist with technical expertise and on-going sales support in this unique, mass-scale lighting deployment from project conception to completion.

TerraWave Brings Custom Wi-Fi to the Seas for Carnival Cruise Lines
The major benefit of wireless LANs (WLANs) is the ability to take wireless networking to places where wires restrict networking deployment. A prime example is ocean travel. To meet the growing technology needs of passengers and the ships' crews, Carnival Cruise Lines adopted the use of wireless networking with the deployment of wireless networks in new Internet Cafes.
Learn why Carnival came to TerraWave in the midst of a retro-fitting exercise for its ships with "bow2stern" Wi-Fi and how TerraWave sales directors were available to assist from project conception to completion on two separate occasions with tailored, custom solutions to meet Carnival's exact needs.
