New Products Jun 05, 2005 by Jeff Shepard

Valere Power Inc. (Richardson, TX), a maker of power systems for the wireless and broadband sections of the telecommunications industry, launched new versions of its Mini DC Power System that expand the system's application range to include in-building and other small wireless networking sites. The announcement of new HJ and HK models with expanded management controller and power distribution options makes the system appropriate for wireless network applications.

The Mini DC Power System has a current level of up to 400 A, a height of 1.5 in, and is designed for applications where power concentration is high and space is constrained, such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP), Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), blade-based server or router farms, metropolitan Ethernet, customer premise routing, or remote-terminal deployed broadband services. All of the systems use up to four of Valere's H Series rectifiers, which are available in 12 V, 24 V or 48 V versions with current levels up to 100 A. The rectifiers are based on Valere's patented 93% efficient power conversion technology.

The Mini DC Power System HJ version is a 2RU high unit with power distribution that is optimized for wireless applications. The system has up to six circuit breakers or 10 fuse positions for power distribution to up to 10 different networking systems. One or two low-voltage disconnect connectors are available to protect batteries from becoming too empty. The HJ also features Valere's BC controller with full telecommunications functionality, including monitoring of thermal conditions and management of battery capacity and health. Controller data is accessible either via a front panel LCD or remotely via a web-based interface. The HK configuration is 1RU high and offers up to 300 A of current with either bulk output or up to 14 fuse-based distribution points. The system comes available with either a network interface card or a thermal relay input/output controller capability.

The Mini DC Power System is now available.
