VoltServer

VoltServer Digital Electricity™ is an ideal remote power distribution system to support the rapid deployment of FTTx, FTTH, LTE, 5G networks and other network infrastructure devices.  Provided as an innovative turnkey solution from Connectix, VoltServer powers remote equipment over existing telco infrastructure avoiding the complexity and delay of feeding mains power plus associated civil works and wayleaves.

Digital Electricity™ offers the convenience and safety of low-voltage, like Power over Ethernet (PoE), with the power and distance capabilities of AC.

The VoltServer technology splits energy into packets and transfers hundreds of packets each second from a Transmitter unit to a Receiver unit. Safety is continuously monitored after every packet and if there is a fault such as improper wiring, a short circuit, or a person is touching the transmission lines, the transmitter recognizes the condition in milliseconds and halts the transmission of packets. The result is safe electrical transmission at high power levels and an inherent ability to digitally control a host of modern electronic devices connected to the distribution system.

Voltserver - How digital energy works


The result is touch-safe electrical transmission at high power levels via telco ducts and cables to quickly and simply power remote and street based devices.  The VoltServer technology is classified as a voltage band 1 system which allows it to co-exist with telecommunications and IT cables.

The Digital Electricity™ platform is an economical, efficient, and and safe method for powering remote radios or access points used for high-speed wireless connectivity.  Digital Electricity™ provides the power levels of AC with the safety, convenience, and cost of low-voltage Power over Ethernet (PoE). Trust Digital Electricity™ to run power to even your most power hungry and difficult to reach remote radios and access points.

Intelligent Buildings

Digital Electricity™ enables real estate companies, building owners, facility managers, and business leaders to fully embrace digital transformation with a smart, connected property technology platform that puts you in complete control of power delivery. Whether it’s your security system or lighting fixtures, Digital Electricity™ is simple to use, lower cost to install, and easier to adapt and upgrade.

Controlled Environment Agriculture

Conduit, GFCIs and certified labor are just a few expenses CEA facility owners incur to mitigate electrical hazards. Due to its inherent safety and classification as a Limited Power Source, you can install Digital Electricity™ without conduit, circuit breakers and with minimal certified labor.

Replacing sunlight accounts for nearly 50 percent of the entire cost of an indoor vertical farm. Of that, 70 percent goes to power distribution. The cost of installing power with VoltServer is typically 20 percent less than conventional electricity, saving hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in capital expenses.

Why VoltServer

Monitoring and Control
Natively provides remote monitoring and control of electrical power allocation. Centralized monitoring and control point for all power circuits for energy management decisions.
Cost to Install
Utilise existing data pathways, leverage hybrid fiber cable, and a smaller electrical room footprint. Thinner wire decreases commodity costs and more wire can be used per raceway.
Reliability
Mission-critical systems require reliable, uninterruptible power. Digital Electricity™ enables a centralized backup power architecture that is more economic and easier to manage than distributed models
Speed to Deploy
Unlike AC, Digital Electricity™ does not require dedicated conduits. Power can be delivered in existing data pathways or even in the same cable as fiber optics. It is less disruptive to tenants to deploy, and in many regions permits are not required.
Green
Reduces consumed material by eliminating need for conduit. Reduces proliferation of lead acid batteries in edge locations. The platform is extremely energy efficient and can qualify for leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) credits.  The system can natively accept 380VDC from a renewable energy microgrid.
Flexibility
Moves, adds, and changes are needed as technology, spaces, and needs evolve. These can often be completed by in-house IT staff using the modularity of the VoltServer platform and the Class 2 wiring practices it enables. (Note: jurisdiction dependant)
Safety
Stops hazardous current within milliseconds. The fundamental danger inherent in AC or HVDC electricity makes today’s electrical systems expensive to install or change. Reduce the danger to your installers, occupants, and guests.
Scalability
The modularity of the system allows simple upgrades to add more endpoint load devices. Deploying dark copper from the start can avoid costly new cable runs for future upgrades.
Convenience
Power can be cycled to individual devices, often resolving issues without having to physically visit the site. This saves time and money by avoiding unnecessary site visits, or solving a problem for sites that are hard to reach.
