Eltek Valere brings Flatpack2 HE to Asia

Tony Chan | June 20, 2008 | 0 Comments

Eltek Valere unveiled its green product line – Flatpack2 HE – to wireless and fixed line service providers at CommunicAsia 2008.

As reported earlier by Green Telecom, the Flatpack2 HE DC power system is based on a new 2000-Watt rectifier module that offers 96 percent efficiency – the highest in the industry. The rectifier cuts power losses in half compared with today’s conversion technology, reducing the power consumption – and lowering operating costs – for telecom service providers.

“There is huge demand and limited availability of power in the region making the cost of electricity high, so bringing this high-efficiency product to Asia provides operators with a solution to improve their bottom line dramatically,” said Kenneth Bodahl, Eltek Valere Managing Director for AsiaPac. “We have established a reputation as the leading solutions provider in the region. This will be enhanced by setting a new benchmark with regards to high efficiency and reduced emissions of CO2.”

“The need for DC power systems to push the envelope on efficiency and green features is acute as most of the power used by a carrier is provided by DC power systems,” said Greg Fasullo, Chief Marketing Officer. “We believe Eltek Valere will lead the way and truly make this decade a green and profitable revolution in DC power systems.”

“It is estimated that the total power requirement to operate global telecommunication networks equals more than 1% of global energy usage, resulting in emission of approximately 130 million tons of CO2,” the company said. “About 60%-70% of this electricity powers the networks, supplied by DC power systems.”

Flatpack2 HE rectifiers make use of new breakthroughs in resonant topology and digital control to dramatically boost efficiency above today’s industry standard of around 90%-92%. In addition, the use of digital controls means that total components for the system have been reduced by 40% increasing reliability.

The Flatpack2 HE rectifier has a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), wide input voltage range (85-300Vac) and compact size, making it ideal for most telecom applications – indoor and outdoor.

The Flatpack2 HE features a controller area network (CAN) bus interface to allow communication with our Smartpack Monitoring & Control Unit or to be integrated with customer control systems. The Smartpack provides full control and monitoring of rectifiers and other system components with multilevel access and comprehensive battery management through web, SNMP, SMS, e-mail or modem.

The Flatpack2 HE Rectifier Module 48/2000 is now available from Eltek Valere throughout Asia.
