Powering telecom infrastructure at the edge of the grid is one of the industry’s toughest challenges, but also one of the greatest opportunities. That’s the focus of a recent Inside Towers article, where HCI Energy CEO Joe Kessinger shared how hybrid power is helping unlock reliable connectivity in places the grid can’t reach.
From battery-first system design to modular deployment strategies, the article explores how HCI’s Hybrid Power Shelters are being used in some of the most remote and rugged environments in North America and beyond.
When you think about rugged, off-grid, really remote locations, power is a major challenge. Integrating multiple sources with a renewable-forward design ensures you have the utmost reliability, even in the harshest environments.
The article also features HCI’s work with tribal communities, WISPs, and public safety agencies, highlighting how real-time remote monitoring is shifting customer expectations—from backup power to proactive control.
Whether it’s delivering connectivity to mountaintops in British Columbia or supporting public safety communications during a typhoon in Alaska, the takeaway is clear:
Hybrid energy systems aren’t just an alternative, they’re a new foundation for resilient telecom infrastructure.
