With the escalating demands for greater coverage and bandwidth, todays communications networks are placing equipment closer and closer to the end user, often involving remote installations. Network radios and the systems that keep them powered are often deployed into sites that feature little or no existing infrastructure to house and protect equipment. Enter Technical Shelters. Technical Shelters are the basic structures for housing and protecting electronics and power equipment, commonly used in telecommunication base stations and remote switching centers. The shelters are typically designed to be discreet, while built to withstand extreme weather conditions and protect the critical internal communication equipment from vandalism and theft. Alpha Technologies has been an industry leader in DC and AC powering solutions for communications markets for several decades. For the last decade, we have become a prominent supplier of outside plant cabinets, with industry leading thermal management designs. If your network needs shelter solutions, why look any further than the experts in communications power to supply the right housing for your power and electronic equipment?
Alpha has the ability to provide custom shelters that feature: Centralized/remote management Single or multiple rooms Rugged outdoor construction, withstanding vandalism, break-ins, temperature extremes (sun, snow, ice) Fire and earthquake resistant Impact resistant (including optional bullet proong) Multiple alarms: intrusion, re, fuel leaks Single or redundant climate control systems

Shelter size Alphas Technical Shelters come in a broad range of sizes to suit almost any requirement. Shelters can be supplied in single or multiple pieces, or even modular designs. This provides exibility to accommodate unique installation/transportation scenarios and is more cost effective during the shipping and assembly stages of the project. Environmental controls While Alpha provides shelters for both indoor and outdoor environments, they may be congured with climate control mechanisms to ensure the internal environmental temperature is suitable for equipment operation during extremely hot and cold weather. Depending on your thermal management needs, we can even replace air conditioning with free cooling equipment in order to provide energy and costs savings while reducing your shelters carbon footprint. Power Alpha is a recognized leader in power conversion, protection and standby products as well as alternate energy solutions. We offer complete AC, DC and renewable energy powering solutions, including rugged UPS, advanced, modular indoor and outdoor power enclosures, distribution and system controllers, batteries, EF&I, training and maintenance services.
