The Alpha Group has been designing and manufacturing enclosures for over 30 years. With a primary focus on the cable/broadband industry, The Alpha Group has expanded their enclosure series to meet the demands of many markets including wireless, traffic control, commdata, utilities, access control and public security. There has been significant growth around the world for wireless and cable enclosures.
The demand for wireless enclosures began to increase significantly four years ago with the establishment of consumer wireless devices, at that time the telecom market was still down. It took a few years until the market demands pushed the carriers into expanding their networks to accomodate the growth of the new technologies.
The world's communication networks are adding traffic at an astounding rate. Increased network demand requires more bandwidth, more agility and greater overall network reliability. The result is an increased investment in outside plant hardware.
This continued growth is seen all over the world. Developing countries that cannot afford to put in landlines are focusing on wireless and fiber infrastructures, while developed countries are paving the way for new wireless technologies and expanding customer offerings.
The demand for enclosures in the cable market has also risen. Replacing fixed access buildings with enclosures like the Radium MiniBay has freed up expensive land. The enclosures can now be installed in right aways, giving neighborhoods more space for housing.
Although customers are still looking for cost effective, well designed enclosures, there are also space, access and regulatory constraints to consider. The Alpha Group has utilized its years of experience in the power industry to offer complete solutions including power, backup power, supervisory and EF&I (Engineering, Furnish & Installation). New developments focus on increasing product added value as well as reducing customer operating and maintenance costs.
