FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bellingham, Wash. June 1, 2007 - Worldwide powering solutions provider Alpha Technologies, Inc. recently introduced the new Generator Expansion Module for its PWE line of cable Power System enclosures. The Generator Expansion Module is designed to house an AlphaGen™ ACX2000 generator, allowing advanced planning for, or quick response to, extended power outages.
“For extended outages, generators represent a highly cost effective method to increase power supply runtimes,” said Mike Haass, Broadband Power Product Manager for Alpha, “and Alpha’s Generator Expansion Module eliminates many of the headaches associated with temporarily deploying and safeguarding expensive generators.”

Because the Generator Expansion Module is built to the same exacting specifications Alpha is famous for, the generator is protected from weather, as well as theft. Since the generators are safe, mounted to the permanent power system enclosure, maintenance crews can retrieve the generators as needed after power is restored.

The Generator Expansion Module is fully backwards compatible and field installable using two rails to securely attach to the bottom of existing Alpha PWE-3 and PWE-6 enclosures.

This innovation in cable power system plant hardening will be on display at this year’s SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in Orlando FL, June 19-22 at the Orlando Orange County Convention Center.

Alpha Technologies Inc. develops power conversion, protection and standby products for telecommunications and cable television industries, including custom, application-specific power solutions. In addition to product development, Alpha Technologies provides a comprehensive range of installation and maintenance services to support its global customer base. Alpha Technologies is a member of The Alpha Group of companies.
