Telecommunications Applications
Generac Power Systems has been serving the telecommunications industry for more than 20 years. Its power-generation products have been designed to provide maximum value specific to customer needs. Offering products from 3 kilowatts to 2000 kilowatts (kW), Generac can support any network application – from a facility based central office to an outside plant remote terminal.
Facility Based Applications
No matter what operation the facility is performing, engine generators, ranging from 100kW to 2000kW, have been the preferred solution for providing backup emergency power for critical central office,network operating center, data center and headend applications. Sample applications by network type:
- Wireline (Central Office)
- Fiber (Point of Presence Site)
- Wireless (Mobile Telephone Switch Office)
- Cable (Headend/Hub)
Outside Plant Based Applications
- Wireless. Reliable network availability in the wireless industry is fundamental in attracting and retaining subscribers. As networks evolve, new services and applications will increase user demand and expectations. Carriers developing fixed wireless, broadband solutions will be required to offer carrier-class reliability.
- Hybrid fiber/coaxial cable. Growth in critical data traffic and telephony over upgraded coaxial cable networks has driven the need for increased reliability. Neighborhood installations require solutions to be small, quiet and safe to the general public.
- Upgraded telephony copper networks. As traditional telephony networks expand to include high-speed data, power sensitive electronics are moving out of the central office and into an environments outside plants. Remote nodes that house the necessary electronics are susceptible to power outages and require extended protection.
