Powering Australian Based ISPs Expansion

Background

Each year Australian households and business continue to consume more data and require higher bandwidth from their Internet Service Provider (ISP). The insatiable demand for data and bandwidth has been compounded during the pandemic with a greater uptake in hybrid work / education models and more and more HD streaming and online gaming services available. It is now common place to have several simultaneous connections to one or more of these services within a household or business.

For many years, Australians have had little choice in which ISP provider they use. The market has been traditionally dominated by the “Big Telcos” offering NBN and limited fixed cable connections.

The challenge

The solution

When advising customers on the best solution for their network infrastructure requirements the first question that is asked is: 

“What voltage is the primary load?”

Based on the answer given we choose the most efficient architecture to meet our customer’s needs.

Recommended Battery Options

Critical to any UPS providing either DC or AC backup is the battery. A system is only as reliable as the weakest link, which has traditionally been a site’s lead acid batteries.
