The initial solution from the Alpha-FDK strategic partnership, Cellect shatters existing form/fit/function paradigms by providing a compact, ultra-reliable, maintenance-free solution for powering outdoor Small Cells, according to the company.
“Outdoor Small Cell power has been such an enigma that some service providers have considered deployments that offer no battery backup,” said David Boroevich, Alpha's Chief Marketing Officer. “We are pleased that Cellect will allow them to provide battery backup that overcomes the vast majority of interruptions to the AC power grid, eliminating frustrating reboots of the Small Cell equipment. We partnered with FDK because its light-weight, compact Ni-MH battery met all of our requirements for size, battery reserve, temperature, and long life. To address concerns for aesthetics and public acceptance, we designed a very compact system that requires no maintenance, enabling service providers to “set it and forget it.” With the power issue resolved, we are eager to see how Cellect affects the pace of outdoor Small Cell deployments.”
Hitoshi Matsushima, CTO of FDK, said, “The melding of FDK's industry leading NiMH battery technology and Alpha's innovative powering technology in the Cellect 600 represents a break-through for the Small Cell market and telecom service providers around the world. We look forward to continue partnering with Alpha to bring other unique solutions to the global marketplace. “
The Cellect 600, integrates battery backup with an AC/DC power supply in a compact, sealed enclosure designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments. Unlike other power systems for distributed wireless applications, the Cellect 600 delivers 600 Watts of output power through six (6) sealed connection ports, with the ability to be individually cycled remotely.
The Cellect 600 provides over 10 minutes of battery backup at full load, to withstand the majority of interruptions in the AC grid. The lightweight (25 lbs.), low profile (16” x 9” x 6”) enclosure is equipped with a universal mounting bracket, making it easy-to-install by a single technician on telecom poles, light poles or on the side of a building. While designed as a zero maintenance power supply with a unique battery and an industry leading warranty, the Cellect 600 also offers high efficiency power conversion as well as advanced monitoring and control, including SNMP, at both the system level and for individual circuits.
