Standby power solutions that enable communications providers to modernize backup power operations with safe, reliable, high-performance and sustainable technology

The Future of Standby Power

Breakthroughs in energy storage are reshaping how communications service providers approach standby power across data centers, outside plant, and mobile cell sites. Areca Energy Storage delivers a safer, longer lasting, and more sustainable alternative to traditional electrochemical batteries such as lead acid and lithium ion, providing a clear path beyond the limitations of legacy storage technologies.

Built on hybrid supercapacitor technology, Areca modules are engineered for endurance, delivering more than 20 years of service or over 20,000 lifecycles with minimal maintenance, backed by an industry leading 10 year replacement warranty. With deep discharge capabilities and an electrostatic storage design, Areca enables energy as a strategy initiatives from backup power operations to peak shaving and energy arbitrage, creating a future ready foundation for resilient and efficient networks.

The Areca portfolio extends well beyond standalone energy storage, offering a complete ecosystem of power solutions designed for diverse network environments. From compact Group 31 batteries and 36V CATV cabinet modules to robust 48V rackmount configurations, intelligent monitoring, and scalable generator replacement systems, Areca delivers flexible solutions that align with virtually any deployment strategy.

With Areca, standby power becomes more than a backup. It becomes a forward leaning energy strategy that modernizes the network and defines a new standard for reliability, longevity, and sustainability.
