Outdoor WiLAN Mount Solution for Major Freight Airport Ramps

When a major international air-carrier needed 802.11 coverage for their vast airport ramps, they called the engineers at Cetacea.
Their chosen solution was the CET5080, fiber ready NEMA4 rated kit engineered for use in heavy industrial environments. A steel lockable enclosure with universal pole mounting system was married to a high gain antenna unit mounted well above.
