Reliable and Sustainable Fuel Cell Back-up Power for European Telecom Operators |
|
Fuel cell backup power and UPS is proven as a reliable technology for the telecoms sector. Fuel cells offer significant advantages over existing backup power technologies. Battery autonomy is limited and can only be increased by installing more batteries which requires more space and more cooling. Generators are noisy, cannot be installed in all locations, can be unreliable and require frequent maintenance. Hydrogen fuelled fuel cell backup power is quiet, emits only water, requires less maintenance (than generators) and run time can be increase by adding more hydrogen cylinders.
 Fronius has developed 2kW and 4kW Fuel cell Systems for telecoms applications:
- Fixed and wireless networks
- Base stations
- Remote antenna sites
- Office IT security
Partnerships
We are looking for EU telecom operators to establish further field trials. We are also interested in talking with:
- Telecom service providers
- Telecom OEM manufacturers
- Wireless telecoms equipment providers
- Installation, servicing and maintenance partners
With the following characteristics:
- Established long term customer relationships with major telecom operators
- Well funded to procure units
- Existing engineering teams to provide servicing and support
- The ability to invest in developing and marketing new product lines
