Rainford Solutions marked a successful presence at Connected North 2025, one of the UK’s leading digital infrastructure events, by showcasing its Fully Integrated Outdoor Telecoms Cabinet on the Telenco UK stand.
Designed to simplify and accelerate fibre network rollouts, Rainford’s outdoor enclosure generated strong interest from visitors across the telecoms and broadband sector. The featured cabinet was fully integrated with EXFO’s Remote Fibre Test System (RFTM), highlighting how proactive network monitoring can be built in from day one.
The partnership between EXFO and Telenco brings together world-leading expertise in fibre testing and telecoms infrastructure to support faster, more efficient network deployments. Telenco integrates EXFO’s Remote Fibre Test Systems (RFTM) into its fibre cabinets and enclosures, providing telecoms operators with proactive monitoring capabilities from day one. This collaboration ensures reliable, real-time visibility into fibre health, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance across the network. Together, EXFO and Telenco deliver solutions that are ready for the future of full-fibre and 5G.
Built for flexibility and resilience, the Rainford cabinet includes fibre management, power systems, climate control, and monitoring – all pre-installed, tested, and ready for deployment. The solution supports faster installations, reduced engineering time, and minimised on-site configuration.
