New Energy Solution from HCI: Intelligent, Battery-Focused Power System with Data-Triggered Alerts and Distant Observation Capabilities
HCI Energy, LLC has launched a new product, the Power Cabinet, a modular, smart, battery-first power platform designed to support critical communication networks. The Power Cabinet will be available for order, with an in-person demo at APCO 2025, scheduled for July 28-29 in Baltimore, booth #2559.
The Power Cabinet emphasizes a battery-first approach, prioritizing battery energy storage as the primary power source. This focus is expected to improve resilience, efficiency, and integration with renewables or backup systems. The modular design offers scalability and flexibility in deployment, making it suitable for both retrofitting legacy sites and supporting greenfield builds.
Smart features, such as data-driven alerts and remote monitoring, allow operators to monitor system status remotely and respond quickly to anomalies. These features are critical for maintaining uptime in communication networks. The Power Cabinet also includes automated reporting and an integrated Lithium-ion battery system.
The Power Cabinet provides operational visibility and on-site data collection. It features remote VPN accessibility, enabling operators to manage the system from anywhere. HCI Energy's Zero-glitch Power Module (ZPM) technology, included in the Power Cabinet, manages and optimizes power sources and outputs.
The Power Cabinet was designed in response to input from public safety agencies, tower infrastructure companies, broadband providers, and mobile network operators. It accommodates customer equipment or additional batteries in an Equipment Rack. The Power Cabinet's battery-first architecture ensures zero downtime, a crucial aspect for critical communication networks.
Ernie Miller, Owner and Operator of Midwest Mobile Radio and an HCI Energy customer, attests to the value of the company's ZPM technology. Midwest Mobile Radio keeps dozens of public safety sites running, and anything they install has to be rock-solid. Since deploying the ZPM, they have not experienced any downtime.
Joe Kessinger, CEO of HCI Energy, stated that the Power Cabinet provides access to HCI Energy's technology for organizations that may not be suited for a full-scale Hybrid Power Shelter or a standalone ZPM solution. Pre-launch interest in the Power Cabinet is particularly strong among tower companies and public safety network operators.
The Power Cabinet includes built-in Climate Control, ensuring optimal operating conditions for the integrated Lithium-ion battery system. With its modular, scalable architecture, battery-first energy management, smart, real-time data alerts, remote monitoring for proactive operational management, and robust features, the Power Cabinet is a robust energy platform tailored to the demands of critical communication networks requiring high availability and resilience.
Visitors to APCO 2025 can see the Power Cabinet in action at booth #2559. For those unable to attend, more information can be found on HCI Energy's website.
