Areca Hybrid Supercapacitor Group 31 Modules
Communication service providers require compact, reliable, long-lasting and weather-resistant energy storage solutions for space-limited environments, such as underground cabinets and vaults, which can be exposed to moisture and are difficult to access.
Areca™ Hybrid Supercapacitor Group 31 Energy Storage Modules are the ideal solution for confined spaces. Unlike lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, Areca Group 31 Modules are not susceptible to steep runtime performance declines, reducing labor costs associated with unit replacement. In addition to a compact profile and availability in a variety of voltages, Areca modules are fully sealed and IP65-rated to prevent water and moisture damage.

The Revolutionary Backup Power Solution that Improves Reliability and Advances Sustainability Goals
Electrochemical energy storage sources, such as lead-acid batteries, are plagued by several shortcomings including consuming valuable real estate, limited lifespans and susceptibility to environmentally unfriendly events.
ATX’s Areca™ Hybrid Supercapacitors, which discharge energy electrostatically, address these shortcomings, enabling communication service providers to fully modernize their backup power operations while increasing reliability, improving safety and reducing long-term costs.
Hybrid Supercapacitors: The Future of Energy Storage and Backup Power Operations
Most communications service providers still rely on energy storage technology that is unreliable, dangerous to the environment, limited in its application and requires frequent replacement. The good news is that a new form of energy storage technology, which overcomes these shortcomings and holds the potential to completely modernize standby power operations, is now available.
Explore how hybrid supercapacitor energy storage provides a safer, cleaner and more affordable energy medium that furthers sustainability.
Independent Testing Proves ATX Energy Storage is the Safe Choice
When it comes to safety and durability, Hybrid Supercapacitors are considered the safest and most durable energy storage solution available. And now there’s proof. ATX recently contracted an industry-leading, third-party lab — Energy Assurance, a part of Element Material Technology — to run ATX’s Areca™ Hybrid Supercapacitors through a series of abusive tests to validate their safety.
Slammed, Dropped and Punctured with a Nail. Learn how ATX’s Areca Hybrid Supercapacitors withstood a series of third-party-conducted safety tests.
Benefits
