Backup Power Operations
Reliable power keeps networks connected. In datacenters, headends, outside plants and mobile sites, even brief outages can erode customer trust. With broadband reliability now essential, operators need backup solutions they can count on.
Traditional lead acid batteries are outdated, maintenance heavy and environmentally risky. Lithium ion improves performance but introduces safety concerns like thermal runaway.
ATX’s Areca™ Element Hybrid Supercapacitors change the equation. This advanced energy storage technology delivers long life, maintenance free performance without the hazards of legacy batteries. With 20,000+ cycles and a lifespan of over 20 years, Areca Element modules provide “always on” reliability for any network environment.
Built for inside plant, outside plant and mobile deployments, Areca Element Hybrid Supercapacitors power uninterrupted service — safely, sustainably and with industry leading performance.
