[From Latin flamm Vapors in Stringently Regulated Industries Including Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical and Chemical ANAHEIM, Calif. -- TerraWave Solutions, a division of TESSCO Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq:TESS TESS Trademark Electronic Search System (US Patent and Trademark Office) TESS Texas Excavation Safety System TESS The Exponential Security System (RFC 1824) TESS Toxic Exposure Surveillance System ), announced the availability of indoor and outdoor enclosures for hazardous locations where critical health and safety standards Safety standards are standards designed to ensure the safety of products, activities or processes, etc. They may be advisory or compulsory and are normally laid down by an advisory or regulatory body that may be either voluntary or statutory. apply. These durable enclosures are designed to house the Cisco 1200 and 1500 series access point and other wireless products. TerraWave is an authorized Cisco Solutions Technology Integrator (STI STI systolic time intervals. ). The hazardous environment NEMAs will be on display during Networkers at Cisco Live, July 26 - 27, booth # 744. TerraWave's enclosures are awaiting CSA International CSA International is a provider of product testing and certification services for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, gas and a variety of other products.

(hardware, standard) ATX - An open PC motherboard specification by Intel. ATX is a development of the Baby AT specification with the motherboard rotated 90 degrees in the chassis. ), compliant in Class 1 Div. 1 hazardous locations, as well as less restrictive environments. The enclosures securely seal or use purging systems to help enable the deployment of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network in areas that may have been off-limits for RF technologies due to stringent regulatory control of potential flames or sparks. "There is a real need for wireless connectivity in Class 1 Division 1 locations and RF radios alone cannot meet the stringent standards that apply," said Carter Burke, TerraWave Solutions Business Unit Leader. "Today oil rigs, refineries, chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants and other potentially hazardous locations can extend the wireless network into locations that were previously unreachable due to strict requirements. These specialized enclosures truly allow RF technology to go where it has never gone before."

Protective enclosures include the enclosure, Pro Series Mounting Bracket, two explosion proof antenna fittings, and two Jumpers (RPSMA Plug to N-Style Plug). Cisco access points (APs) can be purchased and integrated by TerraWave or purchased separately. Additionally, TerraWave offers a 24"X16"X 8" purging enclosure for the Cisco 1200 and 1500 Series wireless products. Unlike the protective enclosures that seal the access points within, pressurization Pressurization generally refers to the application of pressure in a given situation or environment; and more specifically refers to the process by which atmospheric pressure is maintained in an isolated or semi-isolated atmospheric environment (for instance, in an aircraft, or or purging systems operate on a supply of compressed instrument air or inert gas inert gas or noble gas, any of the elements in Group 18 of the periodic table.
