Abstract :
A major OEM of dedicated gateways for mobile networks was faced with a show-stopping problem: their flagship product was failing during initial field tests due to overheating, so what to do to salvage their multi-million dollar investment and thousands of hours of development effort? The design of an improved thermal architecture for the product is the subject of this paper
