Market overview

“In some parts of Africa cell tower (BTS) operators are reporting that power costs can be as high as 50% of total OPEX where diesel is the main power supply.” - ABI Report “Mobile Networks Go Green 2008

High diesel prices. Theft. Maintenance issues. Telecommunications providers in developing countries face a myriad of challenges as they push their networks out beyond the existing electricity grid to service the rapidly growing demand for cellular communications. Diesel generators have been the solution of choice in most off-grid BTS applications, until now.

“In 2009, over 800,000 base stations will utilize alternative energy solutions.” - ABI Research, March 2009

The pressure for cleaner and more economical BTS power solutions has clearly reached the tipping point. In response to this market challenge, Diverse Energy has developed the PowerCube^®, an anhydrous ammonia-fueled, baseload fuel cell power system that replaces diesel generators at remote telecoms sites. No more lengthy site surveys, battery problems, security issues, or sub-optimized diesel installations.

The PowerCube^® is now ready to serve off-grid telecom needs throughout the world, delivering rapid no-compromise deployments, substantial OPEX savings over diesel generators, and a two year payback, all with exceptional environmental credentials.
