PARIS, July 30/-- AT&T has Opted to Use NCX Ni-Cd Batteries in its Outdoor cabinets Saft announced today that its NCX Ni-Cd batteries have been selected by AT&T Inc., a premier communications holding company, to provide battery back-up service for parts of its wire-line network.
NCX batteries for telecommunications networks
Saft has developed its NCX battery technology specifically for modern telecommunications networks that utilize a large number of remote network terminals in the digital fiber loop. These terminals are typically without environmental control and several hundred thousand are today installed in suburban and small community locations in many parts of the world. The NCX batteries are therefore optimized for long life under extreme temperature conditions and will survive without maintenance for up to 10 years. The result is a considerable reduction in the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the lifetime of the equipment when compared with conventional batteries. The NCX range of batteries is naturally compatible with charging systems currently used in the telecom networks and has become the technology of choice for all operators looking for more durable and reliable back-up solutions.
