ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.,
April 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Infrax
Systems, Inc., (OTC.BB:IFXY - News), a global provider of unified
Smart Grid-related products and services for the Energy and Utility
industries, announced today that it had recently completed the
development of a new Solar Power option for its UMAX line of
wireless communications products for utilities.
The new Infrax UMAX-Solar provides utilities with even greater
flexibility for modernizing their substation communication
infrastructure. UMAX Solar is designed to provide the UMAX &
UMAX-Plus wireless substation communication products with a
redundant power supply. It also provides up to 70 hours of
uninterrupted power to the UMAX units. The systems are comprised of
photovoltaic solar panels, a charge controller and advanced
batteries that provide both an "Off-the-Grid" power option as well
as a combo unit that can connect to the conventional utility
power.
The UMAX Solar systems provide a consistent and conditioned 48v
of uninterrupted power at either 15w or 30w depending upon the
requirement making them ideal for remote tower deployments.
The UMAX Solar systems are also capable of powering the TMAX
series of wireless broadband base stations adding even greater
flexibility in the deployment of networks, remote backhauls, or
remote surveillance cameras.
"The Utility Max (UMAX) Product Family is an extremely cost
effective wireless solution for Utilities and Telcos who are
looking to either set up a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
Ethernet links," states Paul J.
Aiello, CEO of Infrax Systems. "The UMAX+ uses an adjunct
box that is connected to the UMAX radio over an Ethernet link to
provide T1/E1s at the remote locations. Due to the advanced
implementation of both, Frequency Division Duplex and Time Division
Duplex in the wireless domain the UMAX products can operate on a
single channel and do not need a guard band between the transmit
and receive signals."
UMAX base stations coordinate traffic flow from the clients
through a polling mechanism, which constantly adapts itself based
on client traffic avoiding the issues in traditional OFDM wireless
networks where multiple clients transmitting data to a base station
simultaneously will cause traffic collisions, necessitating
retransmissions and reducing throughput.
