Power Presents Telecom Fuel Cells at ISE EXPO"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iseexpo.com\/\">ISE EXPO<\/a> is the Information &amp; Communications Technology industry&#8217;s premier educational event for wireline and wireless network transformation.\u00a0 Each year, ISE EXPO provides a robust set of educational seminars tailored to telecom professionals and Plug Power has been involved since 2010.\u00a0 At the August 2018 event, Plug Power\u2019s Darin Painter, executive sales director for stationary power, spoke to a crowded room about how trends in LTE networks and backup power are meshing to morph best practices for telecom power.<\/p>\n<p>Telecom is an industry immersed in change, as it seeks to make communication better, faster and more robust.\u00a0 Traditional wireless and wireline telecommunication sites have served multiple generations of communications equipment, which was not always efficient in terms of power draw.\u00a0 Diesel generators have been used to provide backup power to these locations for many years.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"entry-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plugpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/TradSite.jpg\"<\/a><img

width=\"450\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As manufacturers of communications equipment have increased the power efficiency and carriers have moved to newer technology, telecom sites have reduced their power and space requirements.\u00a0 This has opened the door to technologies including fuel cells, which can provide a lowest capital cost solution as well as higher reliability and lower maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"entry-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plugpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/NewSite.jpg\"<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Telecom carriers like AT&amp;T, Sprint and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plugpower.com\/2017\/07\/case-study-southern-linc\/\">Southern Linc<\/a> are continuing to increase their involvement with sustainability for a variety of reasons, as noted by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renewablechoice.com\/blog-tech-and-telecom-renewable-energy\/\">blog written by Renewable Choice Energy<\/a> and summarized below.\u00a0 What this comes down to is a long-term trend toward sustainability, not just a blip on the radar.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"entry-img-link\"

below, fuel cell solutions, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plugpower.com\/products\/gensure\/\">Plug Power\u2019s GenSure product line<\/a>, are very well suited to a variety of telecom network strategies, including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wireless tower base stations, which provide cell phone service to a fixed geographic area<\/li>\n<li>Cells-on-wheels (COWs), which provide temporary network and wireless coverage to locations where cellular coverage is inadequate, including sporting events, disaster recovery areas, etc.<\/li>\n<li>DSL nodes, providing high speed internet to home and work locations<\/li>\n<li>Alternative energy sites, where the fuel cells act as a hybrid with solar and\/or wind power to augment or replace grid power in areas where the grid is less reliable or absent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, larger fuel cells provided by other manufacturers can be viable solutions for central offices, larger buildings that house communications equipment that consolidates and manages signals from a larger geographic area.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"entry-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plugpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/NetworkSolutions.jpg\"<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4188\"

constant for telecommunications professionals \u2013 and that\u2019s not likely to change.\u00a0 Robust, total solution packages that utilize sustainable energy solutions including fuel cells have become a cost-effective reality for many aspects of the network.\u00a0 With fuel cell solutions at more than 2,500 communications sites, Plug Power is a valued partner to the telecommunications industry \u2013 something we\u2019re quite proud of.<\/p>\n<p>#InfiniteDrive<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISE EXPO is the Information &amp; Communications
