Areca Hybrid Power Station (HPS)
As grid outages grow longer and more frequent, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) need more than backup power — they need a competitive advantage. The Areca™ Hybrid Power Station is ATX Networks’ bold answer: a next generation hybrid power platform engineered to redefine reliability, sustainability, and operational efficiency. Purpose built for the demands of modern networks, Areca empowers CSPs to deliver unwavering uptime, protect critical infrastructure, and stay ahead in a market where resilience is everything.
Fueled by advanced Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology, the Areca™ Hybrid Power Station converts natural gas or propane into continuous, mission ready AC or DC power — with the surge capacity CSPs need during critical moments. Compact, quiet, and virtually maintenance free, it’s engineered to replace noisy, emission heavy diesel generators and bridge the long duration resilience gap battery only solutions can’t reach.
Designed for a new era of network resilience, the Areca Hybrid Power Station helps CSPs accelerate deployments and streamline operations — delivering the kind of dependable, future forward power foundation that keeps their networks confidently on course.
