TELECOMMUNICATIONS

With expansion and rapid growth of wireless communication, telecommunication sites are an ideal application for fuel cell back up power systems. The power requirement and the type of application are varied and numerous. Radio towers, cell towers, repeaters, and wireline are a few examples of this back up power market with power requirements ranging from a few hundred watts to several kW.

Reliability and extended power supply in addition to remote monitoring and operation of the MGN fuel cell system are key advantages over the conventional battery and back up systems.
