ISPI
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SHELTERS are
versatile, lightweight structures that provide
ease in transport and placement. They can be
moved with a forklift
instead of a crane, or with a flatbed truck,
a C-140 or a helicopter. ISPI
SHELTERS have superior structural and thermal
characteristics that allow for temperature and humidity
control at minimal cost, especially at remote sites.
They are made to withstand gale force winds, extremes
of temperature, earthquakes, snow or even a tsunami.
Their ease of transport makes them ideal for remote,
vault, mountaintop, or high-rise installations.

The
remote repeater site in Alaska sees 200+ inches of
snow per year and temperatures of 60 degrees below
zero are not uncommon for weeks on end. Telemetry is
fed back to the operations center in Anchorage 600
miles away over a low speed data channel.

Whether
in the deserts of Arizona or on the Gulf Coast of Florida,
today's outdoor communications equipment must be prepared
for whatever nature unleashes. ISPI SHELTERS are
in service in harsh climates all over the world.
Our shelters and generators can be easily installed
using ISPI's pre-formed, custom
made polymer concrete pads providing significant
savings
in installation time and overall cost. With our ISPI “Stealth
PoP” approach you can camouflage your
installation from prying eyes. Disguise your unit
as a barn or a windmill with custom paint or aggregate.

to the ISPI “Stealth PoP” along the Pacific
Coast Highway in Northern California, one of the most
restrictive and highly regulated areas in the world.
This is the habitat of the endangered Point Arena Spotted
Beaver and is in an area frequented by wine country
tourists. ISP INTERNATIONAL obtained all rights-of-way,
permits, etc. and constructed the facilities in record
time, saving the client millions of dollars and allowing
the customer to generate a revenue stream immediately
upon the inauguration of a transpacific cable between
Japan and the US.

The
modular design of ISPI SHELTERS allows
for expansion or reduction in footprint size. They are
easily stacked for expansion in any configuration imaginable.
Individual units feature molded, seamless construction
inside and out. Simply stated, they are like oversized,
upside down, bulletproof ice chests, protecting your
investment in electronics from prying eyes, curious wildlife
and environmental and other invasive forces. Like the
SONET specification, they have a design life extending
to 25 years.

These
three interlocking units merge to form a 600 square foot
module. The design is a side by side configuration, but
they can just as easily be joined end to end, “L” shaped,
etc. When completed, they are totally watertight and
weatherproof, ideal for a high-rise installation where
roof leaks and sprinkler systems can threaten expensive
equipment.
