At this moment on Earth, there are approximately 6 billion
cell phones in operation. Of these six-odd billion, some 1.2 billion of these
phones include mobile web access features. Already the mind goes into overdrive
trying to comprehend the bandwidth needed for a wireless network of such
dimensions. To cap it all off, with high-speed, digital 4G networks sprouting
up overnight (and trans-globally), the wireless capacity of the world is ever
more taxed to deliver better, faster, more broad ranging services for an
ever-growing number of users. While many
figures in business, politics, and academia devote their careers to tackling
the long-term need of increasing capacity, there are others who are caught up
in the moment-by-moment race to deliver services at the pace at which they’re
demanded.
Vanguard’s Ultra-Vanshield and Microbridge EMI shieldinggaskets are ideal for providing EMI shielding and weather sealing for the base
station units that are critical to providing this increased level of service.
These base stations are responsible for sorting through the boggling number of
wireless operations (anything ranging from speech channels, to transmissions,
to pages, to clear reception) occurring at any given moment in the ether.
Base sub-stations – BSS’s – transcode the
actions of millions of cell phone users and incorporate them into the greater
wireless cellular network. With the level of energy surging through these base
sub-stations at any given hour of the day, there’s a matching need to provide
protection from both within and without: within, to ensure signal clarity and
interference free operation, and without to protect the units from outside
unwanted RFI interference while providing substantial weather seal protection—a
critical consideration in light of the places where the BSS is physically
located, quite often in areas where the climatic elements are brutal, and the
units are difficult to service.
At Vanguard Products, we manufacture standard customized, weatheright
seals to protect base sub stations from malfunctioning. Our materials and
handiwork can be found in BSS systems throughout world in some of the most punishing outdoor
environments you could name. With a reputation for military-grade reliability
under all circumstances, our seals will keep your communications systems up and
running far into this century.
