Enclosures Provide an Additional Layer of Networking Security for Educational Facilities

July 8, 2010 - PRLog -- As Universities, high schools, and related conference and medical facilities seek to better secure networking systems, enclosures can provide an additional layer of protection from unauthorized access to equipment.  Available for both wireless access points and telecommunications and A/V components, enclosures provide keyed access to networking equipment, preventing vandalism while providing convenient access to authorized technical personnel.

Oberon’s wireless AP enclosures are designed to accommodate access points from most vendors. They are designed to enhance physical network security and simplify access control and maintenance for IT managers.  Using an enclosure, network technicians can access the wireless equipment by opening the locked cabinet door rather than removing ceiling tiles and breaching the air handling space.  This simplified access is particularly useful in medical environments or other areas where additional precautions are necessary when working above the ceiling plane, as well as in high-traffic areas where minimized maintenance interruptions is paramount.  Additionally, the ceiling mounted location of the antenna is the ideal location for omni-directional antenna pattern coverage.  

The Oberon Model 1070-00 ceiling-mounted telecommunications enclosure accommodates flexible combinations of rack mountable Ethernet switches, patch panels, wireless controllers and other networking and A/V components.  Ideal for structured cabling and Fiber-to-the-Enclosure (FTTE) deployments, these enclosures offer flexibility in housing a variety of networking and A/V components.  By locating equipment directly in the space where it is needed, the enclosures can be used to shorten home-runs, improve data rate and network capacity, and reduce crowding in the telecommunications room.  

In addition to providing additional security and convenience, enclosures provide a sleek, high-tech aesthetic befitting institutions of higher learning, where maintaining a commitment to providing the best possible technology for students and faculty is key.  Oberon wireless and telecommunications enclosures are available with color options, including customization options for special projects, and are designed to enhance any office or educational environment.
