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.

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.

Large Home Improvement Retailer Uses TerraWave Solutions Products to Improve Wireless Systems
Challenge
This home improvement retail company started over 30 years ago and with an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong commitment to customer service, became a leader in the retail industry. They helped pave the way for customer-centric service by not only supplying the tools needed for home improvement projects, but also providing education on how to complete them — making them one of the first large retail companies to offer this kind of service.
As the company evaluated their wireless systems, they recognized a need to expand the Wi-Fi coverage within their stores. It was determined to install access points throughout the store including in challenging areas such as the garden center which is partially exposed to the elements. They needed wireless equipment that would not only protect the access points, but also be able to withstand exposure to moisture, dust and various temperatures.

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. View the full case story on TerraWave.com
