Westell announced a new product freeing environmental alarming from RAN equipment. Westell’s new RMM-300 Alarm Migration Unit eliminates the need to migrate dry contact alarms to new RAN equipment every time a new generation comes along. As cellular carriers turn down CDMA sites, they face the challenge of re-homing alarms to new 4G or 5G equipment. The RMM-300 was created for carriers to future-proof alarm migration, these alarms will never have to be moved again. Westell manufactures reliable equipment, many Westell monitoring solutions installed over 25 years ago are still in use, making this choice a solid investment. The RMM-300 has a small form factor, being only 1.2 inches deep, supporting rack, cabinet, and wall mount configurations to place the unit as close to existing alarm termination points as possible. Utilizing the 40 onboard I/O, RJ45 style connections, and an Ethernet port for backhaul, the built-in processor core sends alarms directly to the Network Operating Center (NOC). In order to quickly and easily configure the RMM-300, a modern user interface (UI) is accessible via a web browser. To further ease of use, connections through smart devices are enabled with integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). To support large-scale customer deployments, Westell can custom pre-configure units before shipment. The UI allows for enabling or disabling alarms one at a time or in bulk. Lastly, the built-in ping feature makes testing network connectivity easy.
