Power Small Cells, DAS Head-Ends and Macro Cells
Vancouver, BC, June 12, 2015--(T-Net)--Alpha Technologies Ltd. today announced three new products to address the growing demand for Heterogenous Network (HetNet) power.
The new products include the Micro 100 for AC-powered Small Cells, the CXPS-E3 for DAS Head-Ends, and the CXPS-W for Macro Cells. These products will be displayed at the 2015 DAS and Small Cells Congress taking place at The Roosevelt New Orleans on June 8-10, 2015.
“The diversity of HetNets requires power solutions that are tailored to the specific application,” said Grant Clark, Vice President of Product Management & Development. “For Macro Cells, we need easily-cabled 48V power systems that can also provide 24V outputs for dual voltage sites. For DAS Head-Ends, the ability to house all the power and batteries in a single rack provides much needed relief for floor space and cabling. For Small Cells, low cost, easily deployed power systems are mandatory for customers' success.”
The Alpha Micro 100 is designed to power outdoor Small Cells in harsh operating environments, including regions with unstable ACgrids. It provides battery backup for Small Cells that consume up to 100 Watts. Housed in a NEMA 3R cabinet designed for pole/wallmounting, the Micro 100 includes an optional SNMP feature that provide access to system alarms and status remotely.
The CXPS-E3, a 48V power system designed for DAS Head Ends, provides an industry leading system breaker density of 26 positionsin 3RU, enabling customers to fully utilize the system's 250 Amp capacity. In a single rack, the E3 power system can be combined withbatteries that supply up to 4 hours of backup, eliminating the need for a separate battery rack. The single rack solution allow operators to reduce the overall footprint of the facility, addressing the ongoing problem of increasing real estate costs.
The CXPS-W is a midsize system designed to power Macro Cells with either single or dual voltage operation. The versatile system canbe configured for 48Vdc operation or equipped with DCDC converters to supply both 48V and 24V. The system offers a vast array of distribution options, including bullet and GJ style breakers plus TPL, TPS, and GMT fuses at various power levels. With high efficiency rectifiers, an intelligent system controller and ample space for cabling, the “W” combines state-of-the-art features to with traditional cablemanagement.
