Fuel cells can replace batteries to provide between 1 kW and 5 kW of silent, zero-emissions electric power for telecom sites. These fuel cell systems are durable, and provide reliable power in sites that are either hard to access or are subject to inclement weather.

Fuel cells already power more than 1000 cellular and other telecom installations across the US. Such fuel cell systems provide primary or backup power for telecom switch nodes, cell towers, and other electronic systems that benefit from power provided onsite.

With their proven track record for providing portable and stable power, fuel cells are a natural choice for supporting the critical needs of the communications infrastructure.

This webinar will feature speakers from fuel cell companies IdaTech and ReliOn. And Tom Browning from wireless provider MetroPCS will discuss the MetroPCS South Florida fuel cell project, which has 356 hydrogen fuel cell systems installed across south Florida.

This free webinar (registration required) will take place on Wednesday December 7 at 12.00 ET.

This is the fifth in TTC's webinar series for the H2L3 Education Program: Hydrogen Learning for Local Leaders. H2L3 is managed by Technology Transition Corporation with DOE support, to increase knowledge of fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies, identify best practices, and provide valuable information to state and local leaders.
