AURORA, Ill. -- Westell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTL), a leading provider of broadband/DSL access products, gateways and conferencing services, announced today the introduction of VirtualEdge™ connectivity panel products from its Network Service Access (NSA) business. Westell’s NSA products have traditionally focused on enabling the trouble-free transmission, maintenance and troubleshooting of multiple legacy systems solutions from a customer location to the serving central office (CO). VirtualEdge is the first step into the Ethernet arena for Westell’s NSA business.

VirtualEdge connectivity panels are sturdy, versatile mechanical platforms used to terminate high speed cabling applications in any combination of services, 10/100M Ethernet, Gigabite Ethernet, Fiber, and Coax. They can be used in transparent LAN data applications to provide a flexible and cost-effective solution for the delivery and hand-off of Ethernet services.

The key to the panels’ versatility is the selection of inter-changeable couplers for terminating the different types of cabling hardware. Simple snap-in coupler design assures telco service technicians of a secure and reliable connection. Panels are available in two configurations to terminate either 12 or 24 circuits.
