Bespoke enclosures prevent network outages and power cuts

PORTSMOUTH, U.K. - March 9, 2015 - PRLog -- From the national grid to National Rail, services the British public rely on every day are vulnerable to the elements as these companies have to install delicate equipment in hostile outdoor environments. Based in Hampshire, ICEE Managed Services are a premier manufacturer of communications equipment enclosures and now offer bespoke enclosures for telecommunications, transport and electrical infrastructures.

ICEE are a full-service and full-lifecycle engineering firm. The company designs, manufactures and installs off-the-shelf and bespoke communications equipment enclosures. Custom systems are created to meet particular requirements, such as an unusual size, increased security or additional weather-proofing. The design is developed based on the company's existing successful enclosures. Sheet metal is cut and shaped at the company's Hampshire workshop, and the finished product is installed and maintained by skilled engineers.

Previous clients include major telecommunications companies, National Rail and London Underground as well as small firms and industrial clients. ICEE engineers have experienced the full range of working conditions, from installing road-side boxes safely to establishing low-power secure enclosures in remote off-the-grid locations. Their flexible work force adapts to unusual working conditions and times with ease. The company provides high-quality long lasting solutions to technical challenges that can bring major services to a sudden halt.

Why are bespoke enclosures so important?

While existing communications enclosures designed and manufactured by ICEE are suitable for most circumstances, the outliers are often critical nodes in major local, regional or national infrastructure systems.

Standard ICEE communications equipment enclosure will work well in an urban, high-street environment. However, to provide links to remote, isolated or rural communities, the same enclosure must meet different challenges.

As an example, an enclosure protecting switching equipment bringing internet and telephone to a small village in the Scottish Highlands is more likely to be knocked by cattle than a taxi, to be covered in snow, to be difficult to access by car, to have limited power to the box, and to be the only communications link for the area.
