Westell Launches New Public Safety Signal Booster
April 04 2017 - 8:37AM
Westell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:WSTL) announced today that
its PS71090 Public Safety Signal Booster has received Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) certification and is now available
for purchase.
The Westell PS71090 is a 2-watt, 33-dBm, Class-B, in-building
signal booster with NFPA72-compliant features such as antenna
monitoring, alarming and support for AC or DC power. The unit
supports 700Mhz and 800Mhz Public Safety frequencies and meets
future First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet)
requirements.
“More and more municipalities are working to provide reliable
wireless communication for first responders in emergency
situations,” said Mike Moran, Senior Vice President, In-Building
Wireless at Westell. “In addition, the Federal government has
approved $7 billion in seed money for the nation-wide FirstNet
broadband public safety network.”
Using building census data and other industry market analysis,
Westell estimates that the overall North American market for all
in-building Public Safety communications equipment, excluding the
FirstNet project, to be approximately $280 million in 2017 and
growing to $486 million by 2021.
The PS71090 is the newest member of a portfolio of products for
public safety that includes the PS51080 half-watt Public Safety
Signal Booster. The higher power output of the 2-watt PS71090
enables the unit to serve a coverage area significantly larger than
that served by the half-watt PS51080. Westell expects to introduce
additional products for public safety communication later in
2017.
