Vertiv has introduced the new Vertiv NetSure IPE outdoor rectifier to facilitate 5G roll-out and enable operators to increase capacity in areas with high demand. These easy-to-deploy devices, available with lithium-ion battery backup, help minimise power losses while feeding radios on towers and rooftops, which are common in such applications.

The NetSure IPE R48-2000C2 is now available globally. This outdoor rectifier supports telecommunications infrastructure in mobile networks and is ideal for use in network edge applications such as 5G small cells, radio access networks, distributed telecommunication networks and locations with high data demand. The next-generation technology used in the NetSure IPE R48-2000C2 outdoor rectifiers powers the radios rapidly and reliably to increase capacity and expand 5G networks. If the grid fails, lightweight and maintenance-free lithium-ion batteries efficiently keep the network running for an hour or longer, depending on load and battery capacity, while operating at higher temperatures and charging faster than lead-acid alternatives.

Vertiv NetSure IPE is easy to install and features multiple mounting positions. It is small in size and does not need to be configured prior to installation and launch. It can be powered through alternating or direct current, giving the end user the versatility to use the connection type best suited to the site and network. The rectifier meets the IP65 rating for use in harsh outdoor environments, and can be equipped with dedicated lithium-ion battery backup for fast and easy deployment in public spaces.
