ABOUT ALPHA TECHNOLOGIES

Communications Power.  It is invisible yet profound.  It is lucid but clearly shapes our existence.  Day to day life is made easier, global interaction made possible.  It must be clean, constant and reliable.  Alpha understands this power and has built a company and a set of strategies that exceed today’s power requirements, while reflecting tomorrow’s power goals.  As long as there is a need for communication, there is a need for reliable power.

Alpha Technologies was founded in 1976 to provide power supplies to the cable television industry.  These products – which still comprise a significant portion of Alpha’s total business – provide critical power conditioning and an emergency backup power to cable television delivery networks.

OUR PRODUCTS

NOVUS Product Line

Alpha’s long history in Outside Plant powering has provided the expertise necessary to serve the rapidly growing wireless market.  Alpha offers a full line of Outside Plant powering products for today’s most challenging wireless communications applications. The Novus line of UPS’s are designed for outdoor powering in conditions ranging in temperature from -40°C to +52°C, at altitudes from sea level to 10,000 ft. 

These power systems fill two vital roles in ensuring the reliability of these communications networks.  First, they provide critical power conditioning and power protection from sags, surges, spikes and other power anomalies common to unprotected utility power.  Secondly, in the event of complete utility power loss, Alpha’s power solutions provide the necessary back up power to keep the wireless network up and operational. 

·    NOVUS XTi

Provides power conditioning and extended backup time for Telecommunications equipment, cellular sites and PCS systems.   It is  capable of providing up to eight hours of backup power.

When an XTiB power bypass switch is attached to the XTi, a generator can be added for even greater backup capacity.

·    NOVUS P1250 and 1250T
