November 16, 2006 by Jeff Shepard

ReliOn Inc. announced that its T-1000™ and T-2000™ rack mount and outdoor enclosure solutions have completed Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) Level 3 compliance testing. This testing was developed by the telecommunications industry to qualify equipment under extreme environmental conditions and is often required prior to installation of equipment at telecommunication sites.

ReliOn contracted with Intertek, a leading international provider of testing, inspection and certification services for a range of consumer goods, to provide the compliance testing. The Intertek compliance program tested the ReliOn system against all applicable criteria in NEBS Level 3, including extreme temperature variations, fire, earthquake, and severe winds.

"Our successful completion of NEBS testing positions us well for commercial deployments of our new T-series fuel cell products for telecommunications applications," commented Joe Blanchard, Vice President, Product Line Management. "Our solutions provide cost-effective backup for sites with power requirements from under 500W and up to 12kW. NEBS Level 3 compliance testing provides assurance that our products perform as required, even under extreme operating conditions."
