WWW.WISPA.ORG 15 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 2 CommScope SYSTIMAX Constellation Platform Available Globally CommScope, a global leader in network connectivity, announced the global availability of its evolved SYSTIMAX Constellation edge-based power and connectivity platform for today’s and tomorrow’s hyperconnected enterprises. Now compliant with virtually all applicable global power and data transmission standards, the system combines fault-managed power, hybrid power/data fiber and Constellation Points (CPs) in a star topology to connect hundreds or thousands of network devices and systems. Compared to traditional structured cabling networks, the Constellation platform has a radically simplified star architecture that is modular and technology-agnostic. It supports AC and DC power applications and a variety of connectivity standards for IT/OT networks. Eliminating the need for a telecom room or wiring closet on every floor, it enables centralization of uninterruptable power supply (UPS) equipment, and CPs can now be deployed in ceilings, walls or equipment racks, using fewer components while supporting both converged and segmented networks. Additionally, the Constellation platform delivers greater power and faster speeds to more devices, can slash installation labor by greater than 50 percent over traditional solutions, reduces space requirements and uses less plastic and copper to lower the network’s overall carbon footprint. The platform significantly extends service distances from equipment rooms and can deliver 10G and above speeds and 1kW fault-managed power to myriad connected devices in today’s increasingly dense urban environments. “The Constellation platform enables our customers to support much denser urban centers and a proliferation of connected devices in their buildings,” said Luc Adriaenssens, VP, Building & Campus, CCS, CommScope. “By offering a modular, technology-agnostic solution, we’re giving our global customers more choices for building connectivity and power to the network edge—and helping them do it in a way that’s costeffective, scalable and sustainable.” m Visit CommScope at WISPAPALOOZA booth 738. HCI Energy Showcases Zero-Glitch Power Module, Hybrid Power Cabinet (Continued on page 16) Every investment decision for regional and mid-tier WISPs comes down to a balancing act: expand coverage and improve service while keeping costs under control. Rising fuel prices, unpredictable utility rates and aging backup systems can quickly reduce profit margins and, even more concerning, risk the connections that customers depend on. During WISPAPALOOZA 2025, HCI Energy will be showing how smart energy management and hybrid energy systems can solve both challenges at once. By reducing OpEx and carbon
