MARCH 11, 2008 – Fujitsu Network Communications (search for Fujitsu) has unveiled an outdoor enclosure for its FLASHWAVE 4100 Extension Shelf system that spins for full 180° product access. The new enclosure is designed to enable carriers to quickly and cost-effectively deploy and maintain Fujitsu FLASHWAVE equipment.
According to Lee Dayton, senior vice president of the professional services organization at Fujitsu Network Communications, "This cabinet offers many customizable options, including the ability to convert AC power to DC power. The combination of the cabinet's GR 487 CORE design and small form factor, plus the low power consumption of the FLASHWAVE 4100 Extension Shelf itself, will ensure that this cabinet is suitable for extreme outdoor applications."
