About Westell
Westell, Inc. is the operating subsidiary of Westell Technologies, Inc., a Delaware-incorporated company headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, in the Naperville area. Since 1980, Westell has been a leading provider of high-performance network infrastructure solutions, focused on expanding reliable communication networks through collaborative innovation. Through three business segments, Westell designs, manufactures, and distributes products used primarily by communications service providers, tower operators, and enterprises deploying in-building wireless and public safety communications systems.
Summary
Join Westell and lead the growth of one of the industry's most recognized portfolios of in-building wireless infrastructure (IBW) products.
