PCTEL Launches Ceiling Tile Enclosure for Aruba Access Points


BLOOMINGDALE, Ill. --(Business Wire)--

PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in simplifying wireless and site solutions for private and public networks, announced the release of the SP-RCT-004-225 above ceiling enclosure, designed to be compatible with the Aruba Networks® AP-225 Wireless Access Point (News - Alert). The enclosure installs easily into drop-tile ceilings, providing a secure, aesthetically pleasing solution for in-building WiFi coverage.

As in-building wireless data consumption explodes, offices, hotels, educational facilities, and other buildings must provide high-speed WiFi (News - Alert) coverage. Ceiling tile access points are a convenient, unobtrusive solution. However, without the proper enclosure, radio equipment can be difficult to maintain and vulnerable to tampering. PCTEL's steel, hinged-door enclosure design provides both enhanced security and convenient access for authorized personnel. It is a drop-in replacement for most standard 2' x 2' suspended ceiling tile systems and also fits 2' x 4' tiles with only minor trimming.

"Not only are PCTEL's latest access point enclosures great for extending in-building wireless to new locations, but they also upgrade in-building wireless infrastructure for improved data throughput capacity," said Jeff Miller, President of PCTEL Connected Solutions. "PCTEL will continue to develop specialized enclosures and other solutions that provide excellent in-building wireless coverage," added Miller.



Powder-coated white to match most ceiling tiles, the SP-RCT-004-225 is attractive and versatile. It features a custom mounting plate for the AP-225. PCTEL's latest ceiling tile enclosures can also be customized with a variety of bulkhead connectors, internal mounting plates, and high-performance PCTEL antennas to meet customer-specific coverage and equipment needs.
