Flexibility of Vertiv™ XTE 601E delivers opportunities for reduced costs and equipment footprint.
Vertiv, formerly Emerson Network Power, has introduced the Vertiv™ XTE 601E, an 84-in. all-in-one outdoor enclosure designed specifically to bring flexibility and a reduced equipment footprint to C-RAN network architectures. Now available to customers in North America, the Vertiv XTE 601E is highly configurable and capable of housing network equipment, DC power and batteries within the same enclosure chamber while tailoring the equipment rack space and number of battery strings to the needs of the site.
That flexibility is critical to C-RAN networks, where electronics traditionally housed at the base of a cell tower can be centralized for use with multiple towers. In turn, this eliminates the need for some enclosures at the cell site, where cellular providers are increasingly seeking options to further reduce equipment footprint and costs. The Vertiv XTE 601E does just that, allowing providers to house more equipment or more batteries in the enclosure and to adjust that mix as needed. That means the DC power system, battery backup, radio equipment and electronics can be housed in a single, thermally controlled enclosure.
