Kohler Power Systems Helping Wireless Carriers Do More With Less
Kohler Power Systems recently announced the availability of its 50-kilowatt (kW) diesel-powered standby generator - engineered to deliver the superior motor starting capability wireless carriers have traditionally sought after in larger, less environmentally friendly kW sizes. With its high-efficiency 50-kW unit, Kohler has made available to wireless carriers a smaller, more cost-effective standby power alternative to the 60-kW size once thought necessary to ensure one-step load acceptance of all critical power needs at a cellular tower site.
A leading provider of standby power gensets to the telecom industry, Kohler helps wireless carriers keep their customers connected by providing steady, reliable backup power for cellular towers. The exceptional motor starting performance of KOHLER generators -including the newly available 50-kW diesel genset - was designed and tested with the mandate that failed starts aren't an option, especially when backing up critical loads, such as tower communications and the climate control systems protecting sensitive electronics housed at the cell tower site.
"As a trusted provider of standby power for the cellular towers that keep wireless customers connected, Kohler Power Systems has committed itself to delivering gensets that not only keep the power on, but also protect a wireless carrier's mission critical electronics at the tower site," said Ryan Fredrickson, senior product manager, Industrial Generators, Kohler Power Systems. "In addition to Kohler's proven leadership in motor starting capability, we've focused intensely on voltage and frequency stability, as well as transient response time functionality - all to ensure sensitive electronics remain operational. At a time when larger kilowatt gensets don't always mesh well with increasingly stringent emissions and noise containment regulations, Kohler is keeping tower power on, electronics safe, and doing it at a more cost-effective kilowatt size."
Kohler Power Systems delivers a wide range of diesel-, natural gas- and propane-fueled standby generators, enabling wireless carriers to keep people connected and talking. Specializing in customized genset specifications that meet a cell tower's unique location needs and conserve space, Kohler delivers complete standby power solutions including generators, switchgear, transfer switches, digital controls, sound-attenuating enclosures and weather housings - all designed, installed and maintained by Kohler Power Professionals. Across the U.S. and Canada, more than 100 Kohler distributor locations provide sales, installation and after-market support services for Kohler's lineup of UL- and EPA-complaint, CSA- and IBC seismic certified generators.
