Westell, a leader in IoT monitoring solutions for more than 30 years, is pleased to announce 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 today, making this choice a solid investment. The RMM-300 is shipping today.

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).
