Why am I telling you about this?

Yes, it’s a little self-promotional as one of our CommScope solutions is in the running. OneBase InSite Connect, the remote site control and monitoring solution that is part of the Andrew Solutions Network Applications portfolio, is nominated in the Enterprise & Vertical Market: Green Telecom and Smart Energy Solutions category.

OneBase InSite® Connect is a comprehensive turnkey system designed to fully manage remote cell site equipment from centralized locations, greatly reducing the need for cell site visits. As wireless networks continue to grow and become more complex, the demand for increased maintenance also grows. It is increasingly more challenging to identify ways to improve efficiency in distributed network infrastructure management.

Five key areas where InSite Connect™ can bring potential expense savings are:

Cell Site Visit Expenses – By measuring cell site equipment performance, identifying problems, and, in some cases, resolving problems without an expensive cell site visit.

Energy Related Expenses – By controlling heating and cooling throughout the day, even when technicians forget to reset the temperature before leaving.

Crime Related Expenses – By supporting onsite IP cameras, motion detectors and door access control systems.

Environmental Issues – By reducing cell site visits, managing building temperatures, and avoiding dispatches of repair crews, InSite Connect has a very direct impact on your company’s carbon footprint.

Site Management – By providing the ability to establish flexible soft alarms, make adjustments to RET antennas, and manage almost all functions on one system, InSite Connect can make cell site management more efficient.
