Fuel Cells for Backup Power in Telecommunications Facilities. Providing a Constant, Reliable Electric Power Supply

摘要

Telecommunications providers rely on backup power to maintain a constant power supply, to prevent power outages, and to ensure the operability of cell towers, equipment, and networks. The backup power supply that best meets these objectives is fuel cell technology. The telecommunications industry relies on an elaborate network of cell phone towers and field facilities to transmit phone calls and provide services. To operate effectively, each of these towers and field facilities requires a constant and highly reliable electrical power supply. The industry transmits voice and electronic data through wired and wireless networks.
