Argus Technologies, announces the release of a new outdoor power enclosure, the Tempest Te21. This versatile high power cabinet provides power in expanding BTS (Base Transceiver Stations), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service) and MCPA (Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier) equipment lineups or for new site builds.

Looking to further expand into the wireless and WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) markets, Argus noted a need for a compact, higher power rated enclosure. At up to 40kW of DC power, this combination of features provide the highest power rating, output distribution breaker count, longest battery backup and battery life available in a 30" square footprint.

Built on a low maintenance, easy installation platform the Tempest Te21 is an integral piece of any wireless system. With SNMP/remote reset the Te21 is perfect for rooftops or mountain tops and can be used widely throughout the wireless industry.

The Te21 enclosure, available for 24 or 48VDC applications, provides a separate compartment for battery and for customer equipment. The air conditioning helps maintain long battery life and provides stable temperature conditions for customer equipment. The power components are environmentally hardened and will operate up to 65°C (149°F) requiring only extended area filtered fan cooling to maintain stable operation in all ambient environment conditions. The Te21 has a robust backup power system and is built with lightweight durable aluminium construction designed to wothstand sever environmental conditions.
