Westell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:WSTL), a leading provider
of high-performance wireless infrastructure solutions, has been
selected by Transit Wireless to provide cabinets and integration
services to expand their 2017 communication infrastructure used in
the New York City Subway system.
Transit Wireless operates the shared wireless infrastructure
that connects 277 underground stations in the New York City Subway

enjoy commercial wireless services underground, Transit Wireless
also delivers Wi-Fi services, 4.9 GHz band public safety
communications, and other operational communications.
Since 2012, Westell has performed full system integration for
the wireless access-point cabinets used throughout the New York
City Subway system. The access-point cabinets provided by Westell
are IP66 compliant cabinets and contain Westell’s Ethernet switch
for network connectivity and power to the wireless radio equipment
and IP cameras used in the network.
“Westell has been integral in understanding and meeting the
needs of Transit Wireless’ complex wireless network, all while
quickly working to resolve any issues that may arise in the
process,” said William A. Bayne, Jr., CEO of Transit Wireless.
“Integrating multiple technologies into the same cabinet enclosure
enables us to maximize space capacity in an efficient and cost
effective manner.”
Westell performs full system integration for all wireless
access-point cabinets provided to Transit Wireless. This service
includes system integration, assembly, and compliance testing that
enables simple installation and turn-up.
“Westell is proud to be a part of this continuing deployment,”
said Eric Swanson, Vice President and General Manager of
