Commscope's New Integrated Cabinets for Wireless Operators Feature Fuel Cell Power Backup

(Product News, 4 Apr 2008)


CommScope has released two new integrated cabinets for wireless operators under Andrew Wireless Solutions—the EcoPower Cabinet, which features an integrated fuel cell solution as DC backup; and the RBA84 Series Cabinet, which is designed specifically for the needs of wireless operators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

The EcoPower provides an environment-friendly DC backup power solution for wireless and wireline networks, with a cabinet design that is modular and flexible to meet the most stringent backup power needs. The cabinet's proton exchange membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells, housed in a secure, weather resistant cabinet for outdoor deployment, offers a smaller footprint and more dense power backup than other competitive products in the industry.

The EcoPower cabinet, measuring 63x45x52in, is the most compact integrated fuel cell system available, providing up to 16kW in a single cabinet. With power supplied by two 8kW fuel cells, the EcoPower cabinet is cooled without use of outside air in a sealed compartment to keep out dust, contaminants and condensation.

Meanwhile, the RBA84 Series Cabinet features a flexible configuration that enables it to accept radio, power and battery equipment from various OEMs, providing operators with long-term versatility at network cell sites. The RBA84 Series also has configurable cooling options for optimal thermal performance, while minimizing cost. It also utilizes variable speed fan technology to minimize the acoustic signature. It is constructed of rugged 1/8in thick aluminum, with UL50 and GR487 Zone 4 compliance, making it durable for outdoor usage.
