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

Recent breakthroughs in energy storage technology are prompting communications service providers to reconsider the use of traditional batteries for standby power operations in their datacenters, outside plants and mobile cell sites. ATX’s Areca™ Hybrid Supercapacitors offer a safer, longer-lasting, and greener alternative to electrochemical-based batteries like lead-acid and lithium-ion.

Areca energy storage modules can last up to 20+ years or 20K+ lifecycles with little to no maintenance and are backed by ATX’s industry-leading 10-year replacement warranty. A long lifespan, deep discharge capabilities and electrostatic storage design also make Areca Hybrid Supercapacitors the ideal choice for MSOs and telecos interested in taking advantage of energy-as-a-strategy programs, such as peak shaving and energy arbitrage.
