PCTEL Enclosures
PCTEL enclosures are designed to protect wireless access points, radios, antennas, gateways, and IoT equipment deployed in demanding indoor, outdoor, and industrial environments. These enclosures help safeguard critical networking hardware from weather exposure, dust, corrosion, impact, and tampering factors that directly affect wireless coverage, system uptime, and long-term network reliability.
This category includes a broad selection of NEMA-rated enclosures, including wall-mount, pole-mount, ceiling-mount, and hard-lid access point enclosures. PCTEL offers RF-transparent polycarbonate housings, clear-door enclosures, powder-coated aluminum cabinets, and steel enclosures engineered for Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G, DAS, SCADA, and industrial wireless systems. Many designs feature interchangeable covers, allowing access point upgrades without replacing the enclosure, which helps reduce lifecycle costs in enterprise and industrial networks.
Built to meet environmental protection standards such as NEMA 3R, NEMA 4, and NEMA 4X, PCTEL enclosures are available with features including weatherproof gaskets, vented or sealed designs, locking latches, removable backplates, PoE-powered heater and fan kits, and flexible mounting options. These rugged enclosures are widely used in factories, utilities, smart campuses, transportation systems, public safety networks, stadiums, and outdoor infrastructure where equipment protection and RF performance are equally critical.
