Hydrogenics to Provide Fuel Cells to CommScope, Inc. for Back-Up Power in Telecom Centers Fuel Cell Solution Provides Environmentally Friendly Power Backup to Leading Telecom Carriers worldwide
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA -- Oct 23, 2008 -- Hydrogenics Corporation, a leading designer and manufacturer of hydrogen electrolyzers and fuel cell systems, announced today that it will deliver Fuel Cell Power Modules along with Hydrogenics power conditioning and controller modules, to CommScope, Inc. to provide extended run and environmentally friendly backup power systems to leading telecom carriers worldwide. The CommScope family of products is being expanded under Andrew Wireless Solutions to address the unique requirements of wireless and wireline operators around the world. The Hydrogenics HyPM fuel cell modules will be embedded as part of Andrews' EcoPower Integrated Fuel Cell Solution.
Traditionally, communication centers have depended on either diesel generators or batteries for back-up power. Both are expensive and environmentally unfriendly solutions. In addition, batteries, which lose their power and must be replaced frequently, are not adapted to powering networks for extended periods of time. Using hydrogen fuel cells lowers operating costs, increases reliability, and extends runtime duration, while reducing maintenance cost, minimizing environmental impact, and reducing the "total cost of ownership." The eco-friendly solution also is ideal at addressing mandated minimum power supply requirements, such as the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's mandate that calls for at least eight hours of power backup at cell sites.
"Hydrogenics HyPM fuel cells deliver the ideal technology for power backup systems," says Daryl Wilson, President and CEO of Hydrogenics. The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells housed in Andrews' secure, weather resistant cabinets, provide a smaller footprint and more dense power backup solution that has been available. "Hydrogenics systems provide efficiency and flexibility for OEM solutions," added Wilson.
