Bellingham, Wash. – October 12, 2017 – Alpha Technologies, a global leader in broadband solutions, today announced a partnership with Altergy Systems, a provider of reliable, innovative and green backup power. With both partners leading in their respective markets, Alpha Technologies will be the exclusive provider of Altergy System’s Freedom Power Platform (FPP). Deployed into existing Alpha infrastructure, the FPP will launch backup power into the next generation.

MSO’s are in constant competition to provide voice, video and data services to customers. This perpetual connectivity requires continuous, reliable power, as customers will no longer tolerate power outages. Always on the cutting edge of technology, Alpha’s addition of Altergy’s Fuel Cell Technology to our product portfolio was the next step in providing modern, reliable, clean, backup power solutions to replace legacy technologies.

The Freedom Power Platform (FPP) is a patented retro- t fuel cell solution designed to deliver non-stop TV, internet and phone service while meeting required FCC mandates. Designed with a small footprint that yields huge advantages, the FPP boasts the lowest acquisition cost, as well as the lowest total cost of ownership, while providing the smallest backup power footprint and an impressive 8-hour runtime solution.

The FPP also integrates seamlessly into established network infrastructure. Unlike traditional backup power solutions, the FPP avoids leasing and civil costs while providing simple, low-cost maintenance for network operators. These factors will allow MSO’s to modernize their networks and meet customer connectivity demands.

As the communications industry evolves to accommodate new and modern technologies, Alpha Technologies stays ahead of the curve by introducing Altergy Fuel Cell technology as the next generation of backup power.
