PETERBOROUGH, ON – Lindsay Broadband will help to support E911 services in Alaska.
Alaskan service provider GCI Communications has selected Lindsay’s Universal LSA-UPS for their customers who receive digital phone services in their home utilizing EMTAs to provide over eight hours of standby power in the event of a power outage.
“We’ve been using Lindsay’s larger MDU UPSs for a couple of years now, so when the need came up for a product to address the smaller MDUs and larger homes, we thought of them first”, said Eb Pope, senior manager of field services of the GCI Anchorage division, in the announcement. “Lindsay worked with us, using the same platform as their LHA35-UPS to cost effectively exceed GCI’s standard of at least eight hours of system back-up to the home, vital for providing the high quality, mission critical services that customers have come to expect from GCI”.
Designed to be mounted either indoors or out, the UPS will automatically activate when the home’s powering is lost, returning back to its original charging/stand-by stage when power is restored.
“This product fills a gap in the overall ability to create a fully protected network” said Lindsay president David Atman. “Our new solution was designed specifically to effectively protect the primary phone services in the smaller environments. This solution is just another example of our commitment to innovating new products for multi-service cable providers who wish to provide mission critical cable services.”
