Alpha's LPS36 Line Power System Chosen to Power Calix E3-12C
Vancouver, BC. September 29, 2014--Alpha Technologies Ltd. today announced that Stayton Cooperative Telephone Company (SCTC) has standardized on Alpha's LPS36 Line Power System to power its network of Calix E3-12C and E3-48C Ethernet Service Access Nodes (ESAN).
SCTC is using the E3-12C and its VDSL2 output to deliver data, phone and video service for its base of 9,000 subscribers.
The LPS36 converts -48Vdc power in the Central Office to ±190Vdc for connection to the Outside Plant cable. The E3-12C converts ±190Vdc to voltages that operate the electronics in the Calix device.
“The LPS36 has worked very well with the Calix E3 products,” said Erik Hoefer, Outside Plant Supervisor of SCTC. “We installed the system in the CO and turn up the line cards whenever we have a new E3 coming on line. The extended range of the LPS36 helps us reach customers that are very far from the office.”
“The advances in density, efficiency and remote control of our next generation LPS36 set it apart from the competition, but another critical requirement was the ability to interoperate with network elements that contained integrated down conversion electronics,” said Tony Wilson, Director of National Accounts for Alpha. “Stayton's experience validates our design and compat-ibility with Calix's E3 family of ESANs. The demand from other Independent Telephone Companies to use LPS36 to power DSLAMs continues to grow at a fast pace.”
