Plug Power is introducing its Integrated Outside Plant solution at UTC Telecom this week in Atlanta. This package, developed for use with SouthernLINC in a program announced earlier this year, is now available to all of our telecommunications customers.<\/p>\n
The Plug Power ReliOn Integrated OSP solution equips telecom customers with a reliable single cabinet solution for network power and communications equipment, providing customers with a reduction in capital and operational expenses at each site.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how we do it:<\/p>\n
Component flexibility<\/strong> allows the customer to own the solution. The Integrated OSP gives customers the ability to configure their complete DC plant (AC entry, rectifiers and batteries), ReliOn fuel cell backup power and customer-provided DC power systems and communications equipment to meet site demands. It\u2019s about changing the way the outside plant is deployed so that it makes sense for each network.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Lower Costs \u2013 Reduce capital cost and total cost of ownership.<\/strong><\/p>\n As part of the integrated solution, ReliOn fuel cells provide an economically viable power solution designed to minimize site footprint and corresponding monthly lease payments while also lowering operations budgets through simplified maintenance. Customers save up to 33% in initial capital cost over a diesel generator for a 2.5kW solution; up to 18% for a 5kW solution.<\/p>\n Reduced footprint means up to 87% lower ground space lease payments compared to a non-integrated shelter solution.<\/p>\n
