Marconi announced a partnership with Metallic Power, a developer of zinc regenerative fuel cells, to provide backup power sources for the telecommunications industry. Marconi will also combine Metallic Power's unique regenerative fuel cells with its own equipment enclosures and DC power supplies. The turnkey power systems would provide an alternative and redundant power backup for wireless and wireline networks in North America. Metallic Power's zinc fuel cells are capable of powering loads from 1 to 5 kW for up to 24-hours, or more. When power is restored, the system will automatically regenerate without the need to refuel.
