Bellcore Qualification Testing - Cellular Networks

ANCO Engineers provides equipment qualification services to such telecommunications industry leaders as QUALCOMM, Inc. ANCO performs vibration, seismic and rain intrusion testing of network equipment as stipulated by the BELLCORE standards organization. These standards require a rigorous suite of tests to verify that system designs provide for adequate physical protection of housed equipment and that the equipment will function properly following rather severe earthquake excitation.

For rain intrusion testing, ANCO Engineers has developed a reconfigurable water spray system for subjecting test specimens to the water spray intensity, multiple directions of spray and spray-nozzle-to-test- specimen distances needed to provide the mandated test environment.

For vibration and seismic testing, the ANCO R-5 Triaxial Shake provides test specimen vibrational inputs simultaneously in each of three independent directions of motion (X,Y,Z). Alternatively, the R-5 can provide uniaxial testing sequentially in each of the X,Y,Z directions. The R-5 is capable of providing seismic qualification testing of specimens weighing more than 4000 lbs and provides input motions well in excess of the peak ground accelerations required by BELLCORE for the highest seismic risk regions (UBC Zone 4) of the U.S.A.
