Nextec Energy understands that without power, a cellular BTS cannot operate, and that often, the fuel needed to generate this power is one of the largest costs associated with operating a BTS. The solution to this problem is the Nextec Regeneration System. This system developed by Nextec Energy, functions in a similar manner to a standard UPS system, but unlike any other system in the world is able to reduce the fuel consumption associated with BTS operation by between 50% - 85%. This can equate to tens of thousands of dollars saved annually per tower, and tens of millions saved annually for large telecommunications companies.

The Nextec Regeneration System reduces fuel consumption, but it is the other benefits of this system that make it truly remarkable and a necessary part of any BTS. Any time you are using a diesel generator as your main source of electricity, you must anticipate maintenance as a major cost both because of maintenance supplies, and personnel. The Nextec Regeneration System nearly eliminates this problem by reducing scheduled generator maintenance by a factor of as much as 8 times less than its normal requirements regardless of generator brand. The savings realized from associated maintenance costs often equals or exceeds the fuel savings. This benefit is compounded by the reduction in fuel needed, in that fewer scheduled re-fueling visits will be necessary. This eliminates waste by reducing the number of vehicles, personnel, and ancillary resources necessary to operate a BTS. 

The Nextec Regeneration System also fulfills another vital need for any BTS: redundancy. Many telecommunications companies consider redundancy to be perhaps the most important aspect of any cellular infrastructure. This is because redundancy creates reliability, and reliability solidifies a company’s reputation within the communications industry. The Nextec Regeneration System is like no other UPS system available in that it can provide tens of hours of back-up rather than just minutes. The systems logic controller is integrated with the generator used and has the ability to sense critical failure and automatically switch between power sources and inform the operator of this failure remotely. No other system in the world can give you the confidence that the Nextec Regeneration System can.
