EMR News Emerson Introduces Next-Generation Power Platform for Telecommunications Customers Worldwide
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and the global
leader in enabling Business Critical Continuity, today announced the
roll-out of NetSure™, a global technology
platform designed to offer telecom providers worldwide the ease and
flexibility of implementing reliable power products under one global
standard.
NetSure combines multiple DC power resources into a family of
standardized, best-in-class technologies that can be used by companies
around the world. Wireless carriers, for example, can access a universal
DC power supply from Emerson that accommodates a range of voltage needs
for different networks, like GSM and the newer 3G data infrastructure.
Through NetSure, Emerson Network Power leverages its global telecom
expertise to offer customers reliable, cost-competitive DC Power systems
from a single provider.
“The telecom industry is moving fast as a
result of a variety of issues ranging from industry growth to new
technologies and environmental disasters,”
said Ed Feeney, senior vice president, Emerson. “The
flexibility of NetSure allows us to help customers navigate and adapt
with change, no matter what the future brings. It allows businesses to
stay ahead of the curve and achieve true network continuity.”
Based on a recent survey conducted by Emerson, forty-five percent of
large businesses spend less than $200,000 annually to provide backup
power to protect against costly downtime. However, the survey also found
that some companies could lose as much as $2 million per day as a result
of network outages.
The new power platform is the latest in a series of technology
innovations from Emerson Network Power designed to provide
customer-driven solutions to protect business-critical networks from
costly failures. Emerson Network Power’s
ability to localize products and deliver regional expertise provides the
foundation for integrated DC Power systems that can be configured to
meet specific customer needs and prepare companies for network failures.
The legacy DC Power systems in all regions will continue to carry legacy
brands: Actura, Candeo, Lorain and PS. Over the next 12 months,
customers will begin see NetSure as the next generation of products in
DC Power technology.
