 Hybrid Solutions
With 5G infrastructure on the horizon, telecom operators are
faced with new challenges in their critical infrastructure. Not
only do they require solutions to support next-generation
technologies and ultra-fast broadband connection, they also
need a cost-efficient approach to enabling 5G infrastructure.
Renewable energy is fast becoming a viable option, especially
in remote locations where stable utility power remains a
challenge.
Vertiv’s hybrid solutions for telecom sites are fully
customizable, rugged and flexible to adapt to your different
challenges. Our rectifiers and energy storage solutions
support renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
Our hybrid solutions can be deployed virtually anywhere
including network edge and remote telecom sites.
