Flexenclosure is a leading company in the development of intelligent power management systems for the ICT industry. The new eSite x10 is the world’s first hybrid power system purpose-built for outdoor telecom sites and to outdoor telecom standards. It is a patented, sealed tamper-proof unit with passive convectin cooling, no filters, no moving parts and it requires no maintenance. It has been designed to provide tower companies and mobile operators with a sustained advantage in terms of the highest possible uptime and the lowest possible site power costs.
Flexenclosure has already deployed several thousand eSite systems in Africa and Asia. Three years in development, eSite x10 has been purpose-built from the ground up to withstand the operational challenges that have been the downfall of nigh on all of the hybrid power implementations around the world to date.
“eSite x10 is like no other hybrid power system available today and its launch is a ground-breaking moment in the industry’s history” said David King, CEO, Flexenclosure. “Until now, hybrid power systems for off-grid or bad-grid telecom sites have been built using indoor components and deployed in outdoor locations where they are exposed to the most challenging environmental extremes imaginable. These systems weren’t fit for purpose and they were highly unreliable. eSite x10 has been developed to overcome these operational issues and is, quite simply, the future of hybrid power.”
New innovations incorporated into eSite x 10 include IP65 ingress protection ensuring it is sealed and ruggedised to withstand the harshest operating environments as well as potential tampering; testing and certification to strict CE and ETSI requirements; patented protective soft power switching between grid and gensets and fully integrated eSite Tools suite to provide reliable network data for sustained high performance.
The single unit is also preconfigured to handle all site types, thereby greatly simplifying deployment planning. It has a compact form factor to allow the unit to be hand carried to site.
eSite x10 has been designed to be maintenance-free with no filters or moving parts. It has no single point of failure and uses patented protective soft power switching between the grid and connected gensets to replace mechanical switching and thus protect the unit from potentially damaging input power while maximising energy harvesting. It uses passive convection cooling, meaning no energy is wasted on active cooling systems such as air conditioning.
eSite x10 has been designed for the lowest possible total const of ownership (TCO), with a design life exceeding ten years in even the most challenging outdoor telecom site environments. It is not subject to unexpected OPEX exposure for callouts to the site because it requires no maintenance.
