Diverse Power Leverages Exalt Backhaul for Large-Scale UHF Radio Network

CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 2, 2014) - Exalt Communications, Inc., the leading innovator of next-generation wireless connectivity systems for private networks and Internet infrastructures, today announced that Diverse Power, an electric membership cooperative based in La Grange, GA has deployed Exalt ExploreAir microwave backhaul systems to link traffic from its TETRA UHF radio network back to its fiber core. 

With 36,000 customers throughout counties in Georgia and Alabama, Diverse Power's far-flung operations in this rural area require highly reliable radio communications among its maintenance personnel. Working with Exalt partner Dean's Commercial Two-Way of Cataula, GA, Diverse Power deployed a TETRA UHF radio system for its workers and selected Exalt ExploreAir microwave backhaul systems to carry traffic among sites in Manchester, Mulberry Grove, and Red Oak, GA.

"We wanted a first-class system all the way with our radio network, and Dean's Two Way recommended Exalt for its outstanding performance and reasonable price," said Randy Shepard, senior vice president of Diverse Power. "Exalt gives us a fiber-speed backhaul infrastructure that we can rely on in all weather conditions, even during the recent ice storms."

Diverse Power deployed Exalt ExploreAir systems in all-outdoor configurations on links between Mulberry Grove and Manchester, and between Red Oak and Manchester. The systems carry 100 megabits per-second of Ethernet traffic. While the microwave systems backhaul voice radio traffic today, Diverse Power is looking ahead to carrying SCADA traffic over the links in the future.

"Fiber and microwave are the only technologies that can reliably backhaul traffic, and Exalt microwave offers customers distinct advantages when expanding a network over a broad geographical area," said Amir Zoufonoun, CEO of Exalt. "Our systems are scalable, providing customers like Diverse Power the capacity they need to optimize energy delivery, increase productivity, enable two-way information exchange with customers for greater control over their electricity costs, and easily add future service offerings."
