Valere Debuts New Dual-Voltage Power Converters

Valere Power Inc. (Richardson, TX), a maker of power systems for the wireless and broadband sections of the telecommunications industry, announced a new family of dc power converters for its Modular Power System that gives wireless carriers a flexible and space-efficient solution to the problem of differing voltage needs of legacy cellular equipment and next-generation voice and data gear.

The Valere dual-voltage solution consists of a family of dc-dc power converters that slide into the existing power shelf of a Valere Modular Power System and a secondary voltage bus of either 24 V or 48 V. Valere’s new power converter is based on its patented, high-efficiency power technology that delivers systems that are half the size and dissipate 35% less heat than conventional technology.

The Valere base station power system occupies no more than one telecommunications rack. The architecture of the system was designed so that only a single backup battery string is needed. In the event of a power outage, the system will automatically convert battery backup power into both voltages.

The dual-voltage power converter and distribution panel for the Modular DC Power System is now available.
