Asentria launches PowerBoss One for
-48vdc Power Switching in Remote Cabinets

Telecom, wireless, and broadcast providers using remote sites to propagate their signals now have a new option in reducing site visits. Asentria, a major supplier of remote monitoring equipment, announces the release of its PowerBoss One (PB1) - the first in a new line of power-management products. The PowerBoss One control unit allows for the individual power-cycling of eight independent pieces of equipment, e.g. routers, servers, transceivers, amplifiers and air conditioners, at the mixed voltages commonly found in remote and local sites.

The PowerBoss One brings much needed versatility to the control of remote sites via its heavy duty mechanical relays that can each handle DC current up to 10 amps at 60VDC. Unlike other power switching devices that use solid-state switches, the PowerBoss relays can be used in a normally closed position which ensures that power will still be provided to all remote equipment even if the unit was to experience a failure. The PowerBoss helps avoid a single point of failure, ensuring non-stop operation of remote site equipment.

The PowerBoss One operates as an attachment to such primary Asentria site monitoring equipment as the SNMP-Link SL81.
