EnerSys® Accelerates 5G Small Cell Deployment with DPX Distributed Power Transport System
- DPX system aims to accelerate 5G deployment and expedite revenues for 5G service
- DPX eliminates hurdles of permitting and logistics for power connections
- DPX can power up to 10 small cell nodes using a single grid tap, located up to 1 mile away
- None.
“DPX enables operators to accelerate 5G deployment and, in turn, expedite revenues for their 5G service,” said Drew Zogby, President Energy Systems Global. “5G small cell deployment is often delayed or not economically feasible because providing power to each small cell requires a permit as well as coordination with the electrical utility. Our DPX solution addresses these hurdles by using a single grid tap to power up to 10 small cell nodes.”
The DPX Distributed Power Transport System supplies power to 5G small cells located up to 1 mile away. A single DPX system installation can energize up to 10 nodes that are using higher power small cell radios, or up to 40 nodes using low power radios. The system supplies significantly more power than traditional remote power systems, while strictly complying with industry standards that emphasize technician safety. The DPX system is now in trial mode and being evaluated by major operators. It is expected to be commercially available in 2024.
